Extract

Interest in the theory of linear graphs has grown recently in several fields which at first sight seem rather far apart. Recent publications include an excellent review by Bryant(1) of electrical network theory, statistical mechanical work by Sykes(2) and in the field of linear programming a paper by Glicksman, Johnson and Eselson (3). It is in this latter field that the subject of this paper arose, but we shall confine attention here to the graph theoretical aspect alone.
