As one\ nmight expect\, this is NP-hard\; I will tell you how to solve this\nprobl em in polynomial time in P5-free graphs (and more). Joint work\nwith Cece Henderson\, Evelyne Smith-Roberge\, and Rebecca Whitman. \n\nNote: I am CO VID-cautious and will bring masks for those willing to\nwear them. \n\n  \n DTSTAMP:20250521T001012Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
