摘要
It is shown that the interval number of a graph on n vertices is at most [ 1 4(n+1)], and this bound is best possible. This means that we can represent any graph on n vertices as an intersection graph in which the sets assigned to the vertices each consist of the union of at most [ 1 4(n+1)] finite closed intervals on the real line. This upper bound is attained by the complete bipartite graph K[n/2],[n/2]. © 1979.
