TLDR
A new axiom is introduced: for any x,y,z, R(x,y) = x, y = Rightarrow y in R (x,z) or x in R(y,Z) for any \( x,Y,z \in V\),
Abstract
The axiomatic approach with the interval function and induced path transit function of a connected graph is an interesting topic in metric and related graph theory. In this paper, we introduce a new axiom: (bp) for any \( x,y,z \in V\), \(R(x,y)=\{x,y\} \Rightarrow y\in R(x,z)\) or \(x\in R(y,z)\).

Convex sets in graphs, II. Minimal path convexity

TL;DR: Caratheodory, Helly and Radon type theorems are proved for M-convex sets and the Helly number equals the size of a maximum clique.

Trees, lattices, order, and betweenness

TL;DR: This paper considers postulates expressed in terms of "segments," "medians," and "betweenness" for trees, lattices, and partially ordered sets.

Convexities related to path properties on graphs

TL;DR: This work proposes a more general approach for 'path properties' in graphs, focusing on the behaviour of such convexities on the Cartesian product of graphs and on the classical convexity invariants, such as the Caratheodory, Helly and Radon numbers in relation with graph invariants.

Medians and betweenness

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that median lattices and trees have a common generalization and that median semilattices can be imbedded in distributive lattices.
