Index Forbidden graph characterization

In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, many important families of graphs can be described by a finite set of individual graphs that do not belong to the family and further exclude all graphs from the family which contain any of these forbidden graphs as (induced) subgraph or minor. [1]

Characterization (mathematics)

In mathematics, the statement that "Property P characterizes object X" means that not only does X have property P, but that X is the only thing that has property P. In other words, P is a defining property of X. It is also common to find statements such as "Property Q characterises Y up to isomorphism".
