Cographs are those graphs without induced path on four vetices. A graph $G=(V, E)$ with a partition $V=Pcup N$ where $N$ is an independent set is a partitioned probe cograph if one can add new edges between certain vertices in $N$ in such a way that the graph obtained is a cograph. We characterize partitioned probe cographs in terms of five forbidden induced subgraphs. Using this characterization, we give a linear-time recognition algorithm for partitioned probe cographs. Our algorithm produces a certificate for membership that can be checked in linear time and a certificate for non-membership that can be checked in sublinear time.
