{{harvtxt|Beineke|1968}} characterized line graphs of graphs by a list of 9 forbidden induced subgraphs. (See the article on [[line graph]]s.) No characterization by forbidden induced subgraphs is known of line graphs of k-uniform hypergraphs for any ''k'' ≥ 3, and {{harvtxt|Lóvász|1977}} showed there is no such characterization by a finite list if ''k'' = 3.
 
{{harvtxt|Krausz|1943}} characterized line graphs of graphs in terms of [[clique (graph theory)|clique]] covers. (See the[[Line_graph#Characterization_and_recognition|Line article on line graphsGraphs]].) A global characterization of Krausz type for the line graphs of ''k''-uniform hypergraphs for any ''k'' ≥ 3 was given by {{harvtxt|Berge|1989}}.
