Given a 3-colorable graph , the 3-coloring complex is the graph whose vertices are all the independent sets which occur as color classes in some 3-coloring of . Two color classes are joined by an edge if and appear together in a 3-coloring of . The graph is 3-colorable. Graphs for which is isomorphic to are termed reflexive graphs. In this paper, we consider 3-edge-colorings of cubic graphs for which we allow half-edges. Then we consider the 3-coloring complexes of their line graphs. The main result of this paper is a surprising outcome that the line graph of any connected cubic triangle-free outerplanar graph is reflexive. We also exhibit some other interesting classes of reflexive line graphs.

立方图的3边着色的自反着色复合体
给定一个三色图 ,三色复合物 是图形,其顶点是所有独立的集合,在颜色的某些3色中作为颜色类出现 。两种颜色等级 如果被边缘连接 和 一起以3种颜色出现 。图是3色的。的图形 同构 被称为自反图。在本文中,我们考虑三次图的3边着色,允许我们使用半边。然后我们考虑其线图的3色复合体。本文的主要结果是令人惊讶的结果,即任何连接的立方无三角形外平面图的线图都是自反的。我们还展示了自反折线图的其他一些有趣的类别。
