Download or read book Relations Related to Betweenness: Their Structure and Automorphisms written by Samson Adepoju Adeleke and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1998 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is about tree-like structures, namely semilinear ordering, general betweenness relations, C-relations and D-relations. It contains a systematic study of betweenness and introduces C- and D- relations to describe the behaviour of points at infinity (leaves or ends or directions of trees). The focus is on structure theorems and on automorphism groups, with applications to the theory of infinite permutation groups.
