Transcribed Image Text:Question 4
Let G(V, E) be a simple graph with minimum degree (G) ≥ 1. The line graph of G, denoted
by L(G), has vertex set V₂ = {e: e E E). Two vertices i,j € V, are adjacent if and only if the
corresponding edges i, je E are incident to a common vertex.

Graph L(G)
Draw the line graphs L(H) and L(K) of graphs H and K respectively.
(b)
Let G be a simple r-regular graph with r 2 2. Is C(G) also a regular graph? If C(G) Is
regular graph, what is the common degree in it?
Graph K
Characterise, with justification, all simple graphs G such that G and its line graph C(G)
are isomorphic. That is, describe, with justification, all simple graphs G such that G and
L(G) are isomorphic.
Show that no line graph can contain the star K₁3 as an induced subgraph.
