A tight axiomatization of the median procedure on median graphs
Aprofileπ = (x1, . . . , xk), of length k, in a finite connected graphG is a sequence of vertices ofG, with repetitions allowed. Amedian x ofπ is a vertex forwhich the sumof the distances from x to the vertices in the profile is minimum. The median function finds the set of all medians of a profile. Medians are important in location theory and consensus theory. A median graph is a graph for whi...
متن کاملA simple axiomatization of the median procedure on median graphs
A profile π = (x1, ..., xk), of length k, in a finite connected graph G is a sequence of vertices of G, with repetitions allowed. A median x of π is a vertex for which the sum of the distances from x to the vertices in the profile is minimum. The median function finds the set of all medians of a profile. Medians are important in location theory and consensus theory. A median graph is a graph fo...
متن کاملAn axiomatization of the median procedure on the n-cube
Abstract The general problem in location theory deals with functions that find sites on a graph (discrete case) or network (continuous case) in such a way as to minimize some cost (or maximize some benefit) to a given set of clients represented by vertices on the graph or points on the network. The axiomatic approach seeks to uniquely distinguish, by using a list of intuitively pleasing axioms,...
متن کاملOn Median Graphs and Median Grid Graphs on Median Graphs and Median Grid Graphs
Let e be an edge of a median graph G which is contained in exactly one 4-cycle. Then it is proved that G n e is a median graph. The converse holds as well provided that e is not contained is a subgraph isomorphic to the 3-cube minus a vertex. These results are used to give several characterizations of median grid graphs. (Grid graphs are subgraphs of complete grids, i.e. of the Cartesian produc...
متن کاملOn median graphs and median grid graphs
Let G be a Q4-free median graph on n vertices and m edges. Let k be the number of equivalence classes of Djoković-Winkler’s relation Θ and let h be the number of Q3’s in G. Then we prove that 2n −m − k + h = 2. We also characterize median grid graphs in several different ways, for instance, they are the grid graphs with m− n + 1 squares. To obtain these results we introduce the notion of square...
