Abstract

The shortest-path metric d of a graph G=(V,E) is called $\delta$-{\it hyperbolic} if for any four vertices $u,v,w,x\in X$ the two larger of the three sums d(u,v)+d(w,x),d(u,w)+d(v,x),d(u,x)+d(v,w) differ by at most $\delta.$ In this paper, we characterize the graphs with 1-hyperbolic metrics in terms of a convexity condition and forbidden isometric subgraphs.
