Abstract

Given a graph G=(V,E),HCN(L(G)) is the minimum number of edges to be added to its line graph L(G) to make L(G) Hamiltonian. This problem is known to be NP-hard for general graphs, whereas a O(|V|) algorithm exists when G is a tree. In this paper a linear algorithm for finding HCN(L(G)) when G is a cactus is proposed.
