For a given graph G and a positive integer r the r-path graph, $P_r(G)$, has for vertices the set of all paths of length r in G. Two vertices are adjacent when the intersection of the corresponding paths forms a path of length r-1, and their union forms either a cycle or a path of length k+1 in G. Let $P^k_r(G)$ be the k-iteration of r-path graph operator on a connected graph G. Let H be a subgraph of $P^k_r(G)$. The k-history $P^{-k}_r(H)$ is a subgraph of G that is induced by all edges that take part in the recursive definition of H. We present some general properties of k-histories and give a complete characterization of graphs that are k-histories of vertices of 2-path graph operator.
We prove a necessary and sufficient condition under which a connected graph has a connected P₃-path graph. Moreover, an analogous condition for connectivity of the Pₖ-path graph of a connected graph which does not contain a cycle of length smaller than k+1 is derived.
We show that the out-radius and the radius grow linearly, or "almost" linearly, in iterated line digraphs. Further, iterated line digraphs with a prescribed out-center, or a center, are constructed. It is shown that not every line digraph is admissible as an out-center of line digraph.
