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 \(x\in R(y,z)\).

TL;DR: The Mulder-Nebeský characterization of the interval function of a connected graph to the disconnected case is extended and one axiom needs to be adapted, but also a new axiom is needed in addition.

The Induced Path Transit Function and the Pasch Axiom

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize all graphs for which the induced path transit function satisfies the Pasch axiom, which is a strong geometric property which was noted and discussed even from the period of Euclid.

Axiomatic Characterization of Claw and Paw-Free Graphs Using Graph Transit Functions

TL;DR: This paper introduces the first order axiom cp, which is satisfied on the interval function, induced path transit function and all-paths transit function of a connected simple and finite graph and presents characterizations of claw and paw-free graphs using this axiom.
