$k$-Leaf Powers Cannot be Characterized by a Finite Set of Forbidden Induced Subgraphs for $k \geq 5$

$k$-Leaf Powers Cannot be Characterized by a Finite Set of Forbidden Induced Subgraphs for $k \geq 5$

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $k$-leaf power if there is a tree $T$ whose leaves are the vertices of $G$ with the property that a pair of leaves $u$ and $v$ induce an edge in $G$ if and only if they are distance at most $k$ apart in $T$. For …
