By a [Formula: see text]-decomposition of a graph [Formula: see text] we mean a decomposition of [Formula: see text] into [Formula: see text] copies of [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] copies of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] copies of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] are non-negative integers. In this paper, it is proved that the necessary conditions for the existence of a [Formula: see text]-decomposition of [Formula: see text] are sufficient, where B, the bowtie, is the graph with two triangles having exactly one common vertex. Further, it is shown that the line graph of [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] has a [Formula: see text]-decomposition except for [Formula: see text].

The line graph of a graph G is another graph of which the vertex set corresponds to the edge set of G, and two vertices of the line graph of G are adjacent if the corresponding edges in G share a common vertex. A graph is reflexive if the second-largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix is no greater than 2. Reflexive graphs give combinatorial ground to generate two classes of algebraic numbers, Salem and Pisot numbers. The difficult question of identifying those graphs whose line graphs are reflexive (called L-reflexive graphs) is naturally attacked by first answering this question for trees. Even then, however, an elegant full characterization of reflexive line graphs of trees has proved to be quite formidable. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for the exhaustive generation of maximal L-reflexive trees.

Graph Theory International audience In 1982, Opsut showed that the competition number of a line graph is at most two and gave a necessary and sufficient condition for the competition number of a line graph being one. In this paper, we generalize this result to the competition numbers of generalized line graphs, that is, we show that the competition number of a generalized line graph is at most two, and give necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the competition number of a generalized line graph being one.

AbstractGraph theory plays important roles in the fields of electronic and electrical engineering. For example, it is critical in signal processing, networking, communication theory, and many other important topics. A topological index (TI) is a real number attached to graph networks and correlates the chemical networks with physical and chemical properties, as well as with chemical reactivity. In this paper, our aim is to compute degree-dependent TIs for the line graph of the Wheel and Ladder graphs. To perform these computations, we first computed M-polynomials and then from the M-polynomials we recovered nine degree-dependent TIs for the line graph of the Wheel and Ladder graphs.

We prove that if $G$ is the line graph of a multigraph, then the chromatic number $\chi(G)$ of $G$ is at most $\max\left\{\omega(G), \frac{7\Delta(G) + 10}{8}\right\}$ where $\omega(G)$ and $\Delta(G)$ are the clique number and the maximum degree of $G$, respectively. Thus Brooks' Theorem holds for line graphs of multigraphs in much stronger form. Using similar methods we then prove that if $G$ is the line graph of a multigraph with $\chi(G) \geq \Delta(G) \geq 9$, then $G$ contains a clique on $\Delta(G)$ vertices. Thus the Borodin-Kostochka Conjecture holds for line graphs of multigraphs.

AbstractA set E of edges of a graph G is said to be a dominating set of edges if every edge of G either belongs to E or is adjacent to an edge of E. If the subgraph 〈E〉 induced by E is a trail T, then T is called a dominating trail of G. Dominating circuits are defined analogously. A sufficient condition is given for a graph to possess a spanning (and thus dominating) circuit and a sufficient condition is given for a graph to possess a spanning (and thus dominating) trail between each pair of distinct vertices. The line graph L(G) of a graph G is defined to be that graph whose vertex set can be put in one-to-one correspondence with the edge set of G in such a way that two vertices of L(G) are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges of G are adjacent. The existence of dominating trails and circuits is employed to present results on line graphs and second iterated line graphs, respectively.

For a given graph G and integer k, the Coloring problem is that of testing whether G has a k-coloring, that is, whether there exists a vertex mapping c : V → {1, 2, . . .} such that c(u) 12≠"> c(v) for every edge uv ∈ E. For proper coloring, colors assigned must be minimum, but for Grundy coloring which should be maximum. In this instance, Grundy numbers of chordal graphs like Cartesian product of two path graphs, join of the path and complete graphs and the line graph of tadpole have been executed

In this paper, we study some graph-theoretic properties about the zero-divisor graph [Formula: see text] of a finite quasi-ordered set [Formula: see text] with a least element 0 and its line graph [Formula: see text]. First, we offer a method to find all the minimal prime ideals of a quasi-ordered set. Especially, this method is applicable for a partially ordered set. Then, we completely characterize the diameter and girth of [Formula: see text] by the minimal prime ideals of [Formula: see text]. Besides, we perfectly classify all finite quasi-ordered sets whose zero-divisor graphs are complete graphs, star graphs, complete bipartite graphs, complete [Formula: see text]-partite graphs. We also investigate the planarity of [Formula: see text]. Finally, we obtain the characterization for the line graph [Formula: see text] in terms of its diameter, girth and planarity.

In this paper, an effective motion comparison method based on segmented multi-joint line graphs combined with the SIFT feature matching method is proposed. Firstly, the multi-joint 3D motion data are captured using the Kinect. Secondly, 3D motion data are normalized and distortion data are removed. Therefore, a 2D line graph can be obtained. Next, SIFT features of the 2D motion line graph are extracted. Finally, the line graphs are divided into several regions and then the comparison results can be calculated based on SIFT matching ratios between the tutor’s local line graph and the trainee’s local line graph. The experimental results show that the proposed method not only can easily deal with the several challenge problems in motion analysis, e.g., the problem of different rhythm of motions, the problem of a large amount of data, but also can provide detailed error correction cues.
