Abstract

A graph is orientable to a line digraph (OLD, for short) if its lines can be oriented in such a way that the resulting digraph is the line digraph of some digraph. In this paper, we find all graphs such that both the graph and its complement are OLD and also characterize these graphs in terms of minimal forbidden subgraphs. As shown, all of these graphs have at most nine points.
