Abstract

We give a complete structure description of (P"5,gem)-free graphs. By the results of a related paper, this implies bounded clique width for this graph class. Hereby, as usual, the P"5 is the induced path with five vertices a,b,c,d,e and four edges ab,bc,cd,de, and the gem consists of a P"4a,b,c,d with edges ab,bc,cd plus a universal vertex e adjacent to a,b,c,d.
