Abstract

En 中文
Step systems of connected graphs were introduced by Ladislav Nebesk & yacute; as a means of describing shortest paths solely in terms of local information. A ternary relation T encodes, for each point u, the first step x towards a target v. Eight first-order axioms characterize the ternary relation T that are step systems. Here we show that one of Nebesk & yacute;'s eight axioms is in fact redundant. Moreover, we characterize the step systems of bipartite graphs, partial cubes, and weakly modular graphs in terms of first-order axioms. In each case we show that the corresponding sets of axioms are non-redundant.
