A quadrangulation on a surface is a map of a simple graph on the surface with each face quadrilateral. In this paper, we prove that for any bipartite quadrangulation G on the projective plane, there exists a sequence of bipartite quadrangulations on the projective plane G= G 1, G 2,…, G n such that (i) G i+ 1 is a minor of G i with| G i|− 2≤| G i+ 1|≤| G i|− 1, for i= 1,…, n− 1,(ii) G n is isomorphic to either K 3, 4 or K 4, 4−−, where K 4, 4−− is the graph obtained from K 4, 4 by deleting two independent edges. In order to prove the theorem, we use two local reductions for quadrangulations which transform a quadrangulation Q into another quadrangulation Q′ with Q≥ m Q′ and 1≤| Q|−| Q′|≤ 2. Moreover, we prove a similar result for non-bipartite quadrangulations on the projective plane.
