The digraphs that admit upward embedding on this surface are called horoidal digraphs. We shall characterize the horoidal digraphs, combinatorially. Then, we construct a new digraph from an arbitrary digraph in such a way that the new digraph has an upward embedding on sphere if and only if it is horoidal. By using these constructed digraphs, we show that the decision problem whether a digraph has an upward embedding on the horizontal torus is NP-Complete. %G English %Z TC 1 %Z WG 1.8 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01760640/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01760640/file/440117_1_En_2_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01760640 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01760640 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC1 %~ IFIP-WG1-8 %~ IFIP-TTCS %~ IFIP-LNCS-10608
