Median algebra
In mathematics, a median algebra is a set with a ternary operation \langle x,y,z \rangle satisfying a set of axioms which generalise the notion of median or majority function, as a Boolean function.
The axioms are
# \langle x,y,y \rangle = y
# \langle x,y,z \rangle = \langle z,x,y \rangle
# \langle x,y,z \rangle = \langle x,z,y \rangle
# \langle \langle x,w,y\rangle ,w,z \rangle = \langle x,w, \langle y,w,z \rangle\rangle
The second and third axioms imply commutativity: it is possible (but not easy) to show that in the presence of the other three, axiom (3) is redundant. The fourth axiom implies associativity.
There are other possible axiom systems: for example the two
* \langle x,y,y \rangle = y
* \langle u,v, \langle u,w,x \rangle\rangle = \langle u,x, \langle w,u,v \rangle\rangle
also suffice.
In a Boolean algebra, or more generally a distributive lattice, the median function \langle x,y,z \rangle = (x \vee y) \wedge (y \vee z) \wedge (z \vee x) satisfies these axioms, so that every Boolean algebra and every distributive lattice forms a median algebra.
Birkhoff and Kiss showed that a median algebra with elements 0 and 1 satisfying < 0,x,1 > = x is a distributive lattice.
==Relation to median graphs==
A median graph is an undirected graph in which for every three vertices ''x'', ''y'', and ''z'' there is a unique vertex < x,y,z > that belongs to shortest paths between any two of ''x'', ''y'', and ''z''. If this is the case, then the operation < x,y,z > defines a median algebra having the vertices of the graph as its elements.
Conversely, in any median algebra, one may define an ''interval'' (''z'' ) to be the set of elements ''y'' such that < x,y,z > = ''y''. One may define a graph from a median algebra by creating a vertex for each algebra element and an edge for each pair (''x'', ''z'') such that the interval (''z'' ) contains no other elements. If the algebra has the property that every interval is finite, then this graph is a median graph, and it accurately represents the algebra in that the median operation defined by shortest paths on the graph coincides with the algebra's original median operation.
