Abstract
We prove Gebhard and Sagan’s (e)-positivity of the line graphs of tadpoles in noncommuting variables. This implies the e-positivity of these line graphs. We then extend this (e)-positivity result to that of certain cycle-chord graphs and derive the bivariate generating function of all cycle-chord graphs.
