Abstract
Let and be two simple graphs with vertex set , and let be the simple graph with vertex set , in which two vertices are adjacent if they are adjacent in at least one of and . We prove that if and are two -free graphs on the same vertex set and is the complete graph, then there exists an -clique , an -clique and a clique in and , such that . Further, if then is one of the vertices of some double in . In particular, if also does not contains a double , then is obedient. We obtain that if and are -free graphs then and where is the simple graph with vertex set , in which two vertices are adjacent if they are adjacent in and .
