## Abstract In this article, the Ξ΄βhyperbolic concept, originally developed for infinite graphs, is adapted to very large but finite graphs. Such graphs can indeed exhibit properties typical of negatively curved spaces, yet the traditional Ξ΄βhyperbolic concept, which requires existence of an upper

β¦ Synopsis
Given a connected graph G, we take, as usual, the distance x y between any two vertices x, y of G to be the length of some geodesic between x and y. The graph G is said to be Ξ΄-hyperbolic, for some Ξ΄ β₯ 0, if for all vertices x, y, u, v in G the inequality
holds, and G is bridged if it contains no finite isometric cycles of length four or more. In this paper, we will show that a finite connected bridged graph is 1-hyperbolic if and only if it does not contain any of a list of six graphs as an isometric subgraph.

The space X is Ξ΄-hyperbolic (in the Gromov sense) if any side of T is contained in a Ξ΄-neighborhood of the union of th
Given a finite simplicial graph G, and an assignment of groups to the vertices of if, the graph product is the free product of the vertex groups modulo relations implying that adjacent vertex groups commute. We use Gromov's link criteria for cubical complexes and techniques of Davis and Moussang to
A graph G is bridged if each cycle C of length at least four contains two vertices whose distance from each other in G is strictly less than that in C. The class of bridged graphs is an extension of the class of chordal (or triangulated) graphs which arises in the study of convexity in graphs. A se
A graph is bridged if it contains no isometric cycles of length greater than three. Anstee and Farber established that bridged graphs are cop-win graphs. According to Nowakowski and Winkler and Quilliot, a graph is a cop-win graph if and only if its vertices admit a linear ordering v 1 , v 2 , ...,
