ON PATHOS BLOCK LINE CUT-VERTEX GRAPH OF A TREE

A pathos block line cut-vertex graph of a tree T, written P BL_c(T), is a graph whose vertices are the blocks, cut-vertices, and paths of a pathos of T, with two vertices of P BL_c(T) adjacent whenever the corresponding blocks of T have a vertex in common or the edge lies on the corresponding path of the pathos or one corresponds to a block B_i of T and the other corresponds to a cut-vertex c_j of T such that c_j is in B_i; two distinct pathos vertices P_m and P_n of P BL_c(T) are adjacent whenever the corresponding paths of the pathos P_m(v_i, v_j) and P_n(v_k, v_l) have a common vertex. We study the properties of P BL_c(T) and present the characterization of graphs whose P BL_c(T) are planar; outerplanar; maximal outerplanar; minimally nonouterplanar; eulerian; and hamiltonian. We further show that for any tree T, the crossing number of P BL_c(T) can never be one.
