Feb 6, 2016 at 22:33 comment added martin tassy I am sincerely sorry for the approximative formulation, I am not very knowledgeable in graph theory. What I am looking for is for a different characterization of the property 2 (I need to check if some particular Cayley graph has it). Clearly chordal bipartite or having minimal cycles of length 4 does not work since the discretization of $S^2$ into a grid does not have property 2. I was hoping to find a reference in the literature.

Feb 6, 2016 at 22:26 comment added Fedor Petrov @martintassy What do you mean by "broken into cycle of length 4"? Usually chordal graph is about chords, it is natural to think the same for chordal bipartite.
Feb 6, 2016 at 22:26 comment added David Eppstein Still no. Remove one vertex from a cube. Then the three neighbors of the removed vertex have no median, but the three remaining 4-cycles form a cycle basis (the remaining 6-cycle can be "broken into" three 4-cycles, in the same sense that the outer 8-cycle of a 3x3 grid can be broken into four 4-cycles.
Feb 6, 2016 at 22:23 comment added martin tassy Sorry I think the property I am looking for is that every minimal cycle has length 4, that is every cycle of length strictly greater than 4 can be broken into cycle of length 4 ( which is the case of the 3x3 grid). I am not very knowledgeable in graph theory so I thought this was the definition of chordal bipartite.
