Graph equation

In graph theory, Graph equations are equations in which the unknowns are graphs. One of the central questions of graph theory concerns the notion of isomorphism. We ask: When are two graphs the same (i.e., graph isomorphism)? The graphs in question may be expressed differently in terms of graph equations.[1]

What are the graphs (solutions) G and H such that the line graph of G is same as the total graph of H? (What are G and H such that L(G) = T( H) ? ).

For example, G = K3, and H = K2 are the solutions of the graph equation L(K3) = T(K2) and G = K4, and H = K3 are the solutions of the graph equation L(K4) = T(K3).

Note that T(K3) is a 4-regular graph on 6 vertices.

gollark: * YOU
gollark: YOU COULD AT LEAST HAVE USED VECTORS OF NUMBERS REPRESENTING DIGITS, BUT NO, YOUR UTTER POTATO.
gollark: Really?
gollark: Your bigints are strings. Of digits.
gollark: Anyway, depends what format your bigints are in.
