Abstract

The notion of travel groupoids was introduced by L. Nebesk\'y in 2006 in connection with a study on geodetic graphs. A travel groupoid is a pair of a set VV and a binary operation * on VV satisfying two axioms. For a travel groupoid, we can associate a graph. We say that a graph GG has a travel groupoid if the graph associated with the travel groupoid is equal to GG. Nebesk\'y gave a characterization for finite graphs to have a travel groupoid. In this paper, we introduce the notion of T-partition systems on a graph and give a characterization of travel groupoids on a graph in terms of T-partition systems.
