Betweenness is a noun derived from the proposition between. It may refer to: * The ternary relation of intermediacy or betweenness, a feature of

ordered geometry Ordered geometry is a form of geometry featuring the concept of intermediacy (or "betweenness") but, like projective geometry, omitting the basic notion of measurement. Ordered geometry is a fundamental geometry forming a common framework for affi ...

Betweenness problem Betweenness is an algorithmic problem in order theory about ordering a collection of items subject to constraints that some items must be placed between others.. It has applications in bioinformatics. and was shown to be NP-complete by . Problem ...

- an algorithmic problem. The input is a collection of ordered triples of items; the task is to decide whether there is a single total order such that such that, for each of the given triples, the middle item in the triple appears in the output somewhere between the other two items. *

Betweenness centrality In graph theory, betweenness centrality is a measure of centrality in a graph based on shortest paths. For every pair of vertices in a connected graph, there exists at least one shortest path between the vertices, that is, there exists at leas ...

- a measure of centrality in a graph, based on shortest paths. The betweenness centrality of a vertex is the number of shortest paths that pass through the vertex. * Metric betweenness - given a metric ''d'', a point ''y'' is said to be ''between'' ''x'' and ''z'' if all three points are distinct, and d(x,y)+d(y,z)=d(x,z).

convex metric space In mathematics, convex metric spaces are, intuitively, metric spaces with the property any "segment" joining two points in that space has other points in it besides the endpoints. Formally, consider a metric space (''X'', ''d'') and let ''x ...
