โฆ Synopsis
A special class of interval graphs is defined and characterized, and an algorithm is given for their construction. These graphs are motivated by an important representation of DNA called restriction maps by molecular biologists. Circular restriction maps are easily included.

This paper explores the intimate connection between finite interval graphs and interval orders. Special attention is given to the family of interval orders that agree with, or provide representations of, an interval graph. Two characterizations (one by P. Hanlon) of interval graphs with essentially
The edge clique graph of a graph H is the one having the edge set of H as vertex set, two vertices being adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges belong to a common complete subgraph of H . We characterize the graph classes {edge clique graphs} โฉ {interval graphs} as well as {edge clique grap
Let be the induced-minor relation. It is shown that, for every t, all chordal graphs of clique number at most t are well-quasi-ordered by . On the other hand, if the bound on clique number is dropped, even the class of interval graphs is not well-quasi-ordered by .
We survey recent research on combinatorial properties of interval orders and interval graphs. Topics include: optimization with an uncooperative partner, ramsey trails, sorting with partial information, tree width and graph decompositions, combinatorial extremal problems, shift graphs, Dedekind's en
