Axiomatic Characterization of the Interval Function of a Bipartite Graph

TL;DR: 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 \(x\in R(y,z)\).

TL;DR: The class of graphs that are characterized include the important class of Ptolemaic graphs and some proper superclasses of P toleMAic graphs: the distance hereditary graphs and the bridged graphs.
Abstract: In this paper we consider certain types of betweenness axioms on the interval function $I_G$ of a connected graph $G$. We characterize the class of graphs for which $I_G$ satisfy these axioms. The class of graphs that we characterize include the important class of Ptolemaic graphs and some proper superclasses of Ptolemaic graphs: the distance hereditary graphs and the bridged graphs. We also provide axiomatic characterizations of the interval function of these classes of graphs using an arbitrary function known as \emph{transit function}.

TL;DR: This paper addresses the question what kind of restrictions could be imposed to obtain axiomatic characterizations of J by transit axioms only and restricts ourselves to functions J that satisfy betweenness, or monotonicity.
Abstract: textThe induced path function $J(u, v)$ of a graph consists of the set of all vertices lying on the induced paths between vertices $u$ and $v$. This function is a special instance of a transit function. The function $J$ satisfies betweenness if $w \\in J(u, v)$ implies $u \ otin J(w, v)$ and $x \\in J(u, v)$ implies $J(u, x \\subseteq J(u, v)$, and it is monotone if $x, y \\in J(u, v)$ implies $J(x, y) \\subseteq J(u, v)$. The induced path function of a connected graph satisfying the betweenness and monotone axioms are characterized by transit axioms.

TL;DR: It turns out that the class of graphs for which I G satisfies is a proper subclass of distance hereditary graphs and the class for which J G satisfies (ii) is a Proper superclass ofdistance hereditary graphs.

TL;DR: In this article, a proof of Sholander's claim (Trees, lattices, order, and betweenness, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 3, 369-381 (1952)) concerning the representability of collections of so-called segments by trees, which yields a characterization of the interval function of a tree.
Abstract: We provide a proof of Sholander's claim (Trees, lattices, order, and betweenness, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 3, 369-381 (1952)) concerning the representability of collections of so-called segments by trees, which yields a characterization of the interval function of a tree. Furthermore, we streamline Burigana's characterization (Tree representations of betweenness relations defined by intersection and inclusion, Mathematics and Social Sciences 185, 5-36 (2009)) of tree betweenness and provide a relatively short proof.
