Metelsky Graphs


NonLineGraphs5

A graph with minimum vertex degree at least 5 is a line graph iff it does not contain any of the above six graphs, known in this work as Metelsky graphs, as an induced subgraph (Metelsky and Tyshkevich 1997). These six graphs are implemented in the Wolfram Language as GraphData["Metelsky"].
