Abstract
Say that a graph is \emph{representable in } if there is a map from its vertex set into the Euclidean space such that iff and are both edges or both non-edges in . The purpose of this note is to present the proof of the following result, due to Einhorn and Schoenberg: if finite is neither complete nor independent, then it is representable in . A similar result also holds in the case of finite complete edge-colored graphs.
