โฆ Synopsis
It is shown that a (finite or infinite) digraph D is the catch digraph of a family of pointed intervals if and only if it contains no set of three vertices which Wail: any two of them are weakly connected by a chain where no initial endpoint of an arc precedes the third vertex.
Furthermore, it is shown that all these digraphs have weakly triangulated (and thus perfect) underlying graphs.

Intersection digraphs analogous to undirected intersection graphs are introduced. Each vertex is assigned an ordered pair of sets, with a directed edge uu in the intersection digraph when the "source set" of u intersects the "terminal set" of u. Every n-vertex digraph is an intersection digraph of o
In the paper we present two characterizations of classes of digraphs. The first is a forbidden triple characterization of digraphs with augmented adjacency matrices having consecutive ones property for columns. The second is a forbidden circuit characterization of digraphs with totally balanced augm
The class of self-complementary symmetric digraphs is characterized and it is shown that the number of vertices of such a digraph is an odd prime power.
