Popis: We prove that a graph $G$ contains no induced $5$-vertex path and no induced complement of a $5$-vertex path if and only if $G$ is obtained from $5$-cycles and split graphs by repeatedly applying the following operations: substitution, split unification, and split unification in the complement, where split unification is a new class-preserving operation introduced here.
Comment: 13 pages, the paper results from the merging of the two (unpublished) manuscripts 'Excluding four-edge paths and their complements', by M. Chudnovsky, P. Maceli and I. Penev arXiv:1302.0405 , and 'On $(P_5, \overline{P_5})$-free graphs', by L. Esperet, L. Lemoine, and F. Maffray (2013)
