Abstract

A line digraph L(G)=(A,E)L(G) = (A, E) is the digraph constructed from the digraph G=(V,A)G = (V, A) such that there is an arc (a,b)(a,b) in L(G)L(G) if the terminal node of aa in GG is the initial node of bb. The maximum number of arcs in a line digraph with mm nodes is (m/2)2+(m/2)(m/2)^2 + (m/2) if mm is even, and ((m1)/2)2+m1((m - 1)/2)^2 + m - 1 otherwise. For m7m \geq 7, there is only one line digraph with as many arcs if mm is even, and if mm is odd, there are two line digraphs, each being the transpose of the other.
