Abstract

Some graph classes such as line graphs have many special properties, and by these properties we can get some interesting results on their rainbow connection numbers in terms of some graph parameters. For example, in [11, 69], Caro et al. and Li and Liu derived Theorem 3.2.1 and Theorem 3.2.6, respectively, according to the ear decomposition of a 2-connected graph. In this subsection, we will introduce some results on the rainbow connection numbers of line graphs, etc.
