Slitherlink on Triangular Grids

Let $G$ be a plane graph and let $C$ be a cycle in $G$. For each finite face of $G$, count the number of edges of $C$ the face contains. We call this the Slitherlink signature of $C$. The symmetric difference $A$ of two cycles with the same signature is totally even, meaning every vertex is incident to an even number of edges in $A$ and every face contains an even number of edges in $A$. In this paper, we completely characterize totally even subsets in the triangular grid, and count the number of edges in any totally even subset of the triangular grid. We also show that the size of the symmetric difference of two cycles with the same signature in the triangular grid is divisible by $12$; this is best possible since 12 is the greatest common divisor of all the sizes of the symmetric difference between two cycles with the same signature in a triangular grid.
