In this paper we determine all squarefree completely lexsegment ideals which have a linear resolution. Let $M_d$ denote the set of all squarefree monomials of degree $d$ in a polynomial ring $k[x_1,\mathrm{\dots },x_n]$ in $n$ variables over a field $k$. We order the monomials lexicographically such that $x_1>x_2>\mathrm{\dots }>x_n$, thus a lexsegment (of degree $d$) is a subset of $M_d$ of the form $L(u,v)=\{w\in M_d:u\ge w\ge v\}$ for some $u,v\in M_d$ con $u\ge v$. An ideal generated by a lexsegment is called a lexsegment ideal. We describe the procedure to determine when such an ideal has a linear resolution....
