Title: Axiomatic Characterization of the Mean Function on Trees
Abstract: A mean of a sequence π = (x1, x2, . . . , xk) of elements of a finite  metric space (X, d) is an element x for which   is minimum. The function Mean whose domain is the set of all finite sequences on X and is defined by Mean(π) = { x | x is a mean of π } is called the mean function on X. In this paper the mean function on finite trees is characterized axiomatically.
