A graph is (P5,gem)-free, when it does not contain P5 (an induced path with five vertices) or a gem (a graph formed by making an universal vertex adjacent to each of the four vertices of the induced path P4) as an induced subgraph. Using a characterization of (P5,gem)-free graphs by their prime graphs with respect to modular decomposition and their modular decomposition trees [6], we obtain linear time algorithms for the following NP-complete problems on (P5,gem)-free graphs: Minimum Coloring, Maximum Weight Stable Set, Maximum Weight Clique, and Minimum Clique Cover. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
