The forbidden-subgraph characterization conjecture for SPN graphs

Let SPN denote the property of being the sum of a positive semidefinite matrix and a nonnegative matrix, and let the graphs in Theorem be the forbidden subgraphs listed there.

Forbidden-subgraph characterization conjecture. The list of graphs in Theorem is a complete list of forbidden subgraphs for the property of being SPN.

This conjecture would complete the characterization of SPN graphs by turning the necessary forbidden-subgraph list into a complete one. The source does not provide a resolution.
