Abstract: For a given family of digraphs, we study the "extremal" digraphs on vertices containing no member of , and having the maximum number of arcs, . We resolve conjectures concerning the set as ranges over all possible families, and describe a "finite" algorithm that can determine, for any , all matrices for which a sequence of "matrix digraphs" is asymptotically extremal ( contains no member of and has arcs as .) Résumé. Pour une famille donnée, , de digraphes, on étudie les digraphes "extrémaux" à sommets qui ne contiennent aucun membre de , et qui possèdent le nombre maximal d'arêtes, . On résolue des conjectures qui concernent l'ensemble où soit une famille quelconque, et on présente un algorithme "fini" qui peut déterminer, pour chaque , toute matrice pour laquelle une suite de "digraphes matriciels" est extrémale asymptotiquement ( ne contient aucun membre de et possède arêtes lorsque .)
