Let sk(n) be the largest integer such that every n-point interval order with NO antichain of more than k points includes an Sk(n)-point 'semiorder. When k = 1, s,(n) = n since all interval ordexs with no two-point antichains are ch:&s.

The recognition complexity of interval orders is shown to be Q(n log, n), and an optimal algorithm is given for the identification of semiorders. \* Supported by the joint research project "Algorithmic Aspects of Combinatorial Optimization" of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Magyar Tudomanyos Aka
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 generation of combinatorial objects in a Gray code manner means that the difference between successive objects is small, e.g., one element for subsets or one transposition for permutations of a set. The existence of such Gray codes is often equivalent to an appropriately defined graph on these o
A symmetric, anfireflexive relation S is a comparability graph ff one can assign a transitive orientation to the edges: we obtain a partial order. We say that S is a comparability graph with constraint C, a subrelation of S, if S has a transitive orientation including C. A characterization is given
