A graph G has p-intersection number at most d if it is possible to assign to every vertex u of G, a subset S(u) of some ground set U with |U|=d in such a way that distinct vertices u and v of G are adjacent in G if and only if |S(u)∩S(v)|≥p. We show that every minimal forbidden induced subgraph for the hereditary class G(d,p) of graphs whose p-intersection number is at most d, has order at most (2d+1)2, and that the exponential dependence on d in this upper bound is necessary. For p∈{d−1,d−2}, we provide more explicit results characterizing the graphs in G(d,p) without isolated/universal vertices using forbidden induced subgraphs. |
