Median graphIn graph theory, a division of mathematics, a median graph is an undirected graph in which every three vertices a, b, and c have a unique median: a vertex m(a,b,c) that belongs to shortest paths between each pair of a, b, and c. The concept of median graphs has long been studied, for instance by or (more explicitly) by , but the first paper to call them "median graphs" appears to be . As Chung, Graham, and Saks write, "median graphs arise naturally in the study of ordered sets and discrete distributive lattices, and have an extensive literature".
