In a matrix-completion problem the aim is to specify the missing entries of a matrix in order to produce a matrix with particular properties. In this paper we survey results concerning matrix-completion problems where we look for completions of various types for partial matrices supported on a given pattern. We see that the existence of completions of the required type often depends on the chordal properties of graphs associated with the pattern.
