Abstract

The center of distances of a metric space (X,d)(X,d) is the set C(X)C(X) of all tR+t\in \mathbb R^+ for which the equation d(x,p)=td(x,p)=t has a solution for each pXp\in X. We prove that the equalities C(X)={0}C(X)=\{0\} or C(X)={0,diamX}C(X)=\{0,\operatorname{diam}X\} hold if (X,d)(X,d) is an ultrametric space generated by labeled trees. The necessary and sufficient conditions under which diamXC(X)\operatorname{diam} X\in C(X) are found.
