Definition -----------
Given a graph `G`, the *line graph* `L(G)` of `G` is the graph such that
.. MATH::
V(L(G)) =& E(G)\\ E(L(G)) =& \{(e,e'):\text{ and }e,e'\text{ have a common endpoint in }G\}\\
The definition is extended to directed graphs. In this situation, there is an arc `(e,e')` in `L(G)` if the destination of `e` is the origin of `e'`.
For more information, see the :wikipedia:`Wikipedia page on line graphs <Line_graph>`.
Root graph ----------
A graph whose line graph is `LG` is called the *root graph* of `LG`. The root graph of a (connected) graph is unique ([Whitney32]_, [Harary69]_), except when `LG=K_3`, as both `L(K_3)` and `L(K_{1,3})` are equal to `K_3`.
Here is how we can *"see"* `G` by staring (very intently) at `LG` :
A graph `LG` is the line graph of `G` if there exists a collection `(S_v)_{v\in G}` of subsets of `V(LG)` such that :
* Every `S_v` is a complete subgraph of `LG`.
* Every `v\in LG` belongs to exactly two sets of the family `(S_v)_{v\in G}`.
* Any two sets of `(S_v)_{v\in G}` have at most one common elements
* For any edge `(u,v)\in LG` there exists a set of `(S_v)_{v\in G}` containing both `u` and `v`.
In this family, each set `S_v` represent a vertex of `G`, and contains "the set of edges incident to `v` in `G`". Two elements `S_v,S_{v'}` have a nonempty intersection whenever `vv'` is an edge of `G`.
Hence, finding the root graph of `LG` is the job of finding this collection of sets.
In particular, what we know for sure is that a maximal clique `S` of size `2` or `\geq 4` in `LG` corresponds to a vertex of degree `|S|` in `G`, whose incident edges are the elements of `S` itself.
The main problem lies with maximal cliques of size 3, i.e. triangles. Those we have to split into two categories, *even* and *odd* triangles :
A triangle `\{e_1,e_2,e_3\}\subseteq V(LG)` is said to be an *odd* triangle if there exists a vertex `e\in V(G)` incident to exactly *one* or *all* of `\{e_1,e_2,e_3\}`, and it is said to be *even* otherwise.
The very good point of this definition is that an inclusionwise maximal clique which is an odd triangle will always correspond to a vertex of degree 3 in `G`, while an even triangle could result from either a vertex of degree 3 in `G` or a triangle in `G`. And in order to build the root graph we obviously have to decide *which*.
Beineke proves in [Beineke70]_ that the collection of sets we are looking for can be easily found. Indeed it turns out that it is the union of :
#. The family of all maximal cliques of `LG` of size 2 or `\geq 4`, as well as all odd triangles.
#. The family of all pairs of adjacent vertices which appear in exactly *one* maximal clique which is an even triangle.
There are actually four special cases to which the decomposition above does not apply, i.e. graphs containing an edge which belongs to exactly two even triangles. We deal with those independently.
* The :meth:`Complete graph <sage.graphs.graph_generators.GraphGenerators.CompleteGraph>` `K_3`.
* The :meth:`Diamond graph <sage.graphs.graph_generators.GraphGenerators.DiamondGraph>` -- the line graph of `K_{1,3}` plus an edge.
* The :meth:`Wheel graph <sage.graphs.graph_generators.GraphGenerators.WheelGraph>` on `4+1` vertices -- the line graph of the :meth:`Diamond graph <sage.graphs.graph_generators.GraphGenerators.DiamondGraph>`
* The :meth:`Octahedron <sage.graphs.graph_generators.GraphGenerators.OctahedralGraph>` -- the line graph of `K_4`.
This decomposition turns out to be very easy to implement :-)
.. WARNING::
Even though the root graph is *NOT UNIQUE* for the triangle, this method returns `K_{1,3}` (and not `K_3`) in this case. Pay *very close* attention to that, for this answer is not theoretically correct : there is no unique answer in this case, and we deal with it by returning one of the two possible answers.

Functions --------- """ from __future__ import print_function from six import iteritems
def is_line_graph(g, certificate = False): r""" Tests wether the graph is a line graph.
INPUT:
- ``certificate`` (boolean) -- whether to return a certificate along with the boolean result. Here is what happens when ``certificate = True``:
- If the graph is not a line graph, the method returns a pair ``(b, subgraph)`` where ``b`` is ``False`` and ``subgraph`` is a subgraph isomorphic to one of the 9 forbidden induced subgraphs of a line graph.
- If the graph is a line graph, the method returns a triple ``(b,R,isom)`` where ``b`` is ``True``, ``R`` is a graph whose line graph is the graph given as input, and ``isom`` is a map associating an edge of ``R`` to each vertex of the graph.
.. TODO::
This method sequentially tests each of the forbidden subgraphs in order to know whether the graph is a line graph, which is a very slow method. It could eventually be replaced by :func:`~sage.graphs.line_graph.root_graph` when this method will not require an exponential time to run on general graphs anymore (see its documentation for more information on this problem)... and if it can be improved to return negative certificates !
.. NOTE::
This method wastes a bit of time when the input graph is not connected. If you have performance in mind, it is probably better to only feed it with connected graphs only.

The house graph is a line graph::

This is set to ``True`` by default.
The line graph of an undirected graph G is an undirected graph H such that the vertices of H are the edges of G and two vertices e and f of H are adjacent if e and f share a common vertex in G. In other words, an edge in H represents a path of length 2 in G.
The line graph of a directed graph G is a directed graph H such that the vertices of H are the edges of G and two vertices e and f of H are adjacent if e and f share a common vertex in G and the terminal vertex of e is the initial vertex of f. In other words, an edge in H represents a (directed) path of length 2 in G.
.. NOTE::
As a :class:`Graph` object only accepts hashable objects as vertices (and as the vertices of the line graph are the edges of the graph), this code will fail if edge labels are not hashable. You can also set the argument ``labels=False`` to ignore labels.

.. NOTE::
It is best to use this code through :meth:`~sage.graphs.graph.Graph.is_line_graph`, which first checks that the graph is indeed a line graph, and deals with the disconnected case. But if you are sure of yourself, dig in !
.. WARNING::
* This code assumes that the graph is connected.
* If the graph is *not* a line graph, this implementation will take a loooooong time to run. Its first step is to enumerate all maximal cliques, and that can take a while for general graphs. As soon as there is a way to iterate over maximal cliques without first building the (long) list of them this implementation can be updated, and will deal reasonably with non-line graphs too !
