NAME
Graph::Maker::Beineke - create Beineke non-line graphs
SYNOPSIS
use Graph::Maker::Beineke;
$graph = Graph::Maker->new ('Beineke', G => 9);
DESCRIPTION
Graph::Maker::Beineke
creates Graph.pm
graphs of the 9 graphs given by Beineke
Lowell W. Beineke, "Characterizations of Derived Graphs", Journal of Combinatorial Theory, volume 9, 1970, pages 129-135. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021980070800199
Beineke shows that line graphs can be characterized as all graphs which do not contain as induced sub-graphs any of these 9 graphs.

G9 = wheel-6
G1 is the claw (star-4) and is created using Graph::Maker::Star. G9 is the wheel-6 and is created using Graph::Maker::Wheel. The drawing for G8 means edges 4-to-5 and 4-to-6. Similarly in G6 2-to-5 and 2-to-6. Beineke draws G8 as squares
G8 2---3

1---4
| / |
5---6
The vertex numbering is slightly arbitrary but attempts some similarity between the graphs, including having the outer vertices numbered around in the style of the wheel-6 which is G9
These graphs are just a fixed set of 9 but are a convenient way to have some or all.
FUNCTIONS
$graph = Graph::Maker->new('Beineke', key => value, ...)
-
The key/value parameters are
G => integer 1 to 9 graph_maker => subr(key=>value) constructor, default Graph->new
Other parameters are passed to the constructor, either
graph_maker
orGraph->new()
.If the graph is directed (the default) then edges are added both forward and backward between vertices. Option
undirected => 1
creates an undirected graph and for it there is a single edge between vertices.
