A triangulation of a surface isirreducibleif no edge can be contracted to produce a triangulation of the same surface. In this paper, we investigate irreducible triangulations of surfaces with boundary. We prove that the number of vertices of an irreducible triangulation of a (possibly non-orientable) surface of genusg≥ 0 withb≥ 0 boundary components isO(g+b). So far, the result was known only for surfaces without boundary (b= 0). While our technique yields a worse constant in theO(.) notation, the present proof is elementary, and simpler than the previous ones in the case of surfaces without boundary.
