The center of distances of a metric space $(X,d)$ is the set $C(X)$ of all $t\in \mathbb R^+$ for which the equation $d(x,p)=t$ has a solution for each $p\in X$. We prove the inequality $|C(X)| \le 1 + \lfloor \log_2 n \rfloor$ for all…

It is shown that a locally finite ultrametric space $(X, d)$ is generated by labeled tree if and only if, for every open ball $B \subseteq X$, there is a point $c \in B$ such that $d(x, c) = \operatorname{diam} B$ whenever $x \in B$ and $x…

We show that for any subset $A\subset [0,\infty)$, where $0\in A$, there exists a Bernstein set $X\subset \mathbb R$ such that $A$ is the center of distances of $X$.

Basic properties of the center of distances of a set are investigated. Computation of the center for achievement sets is particularly aimed at. A new sufficient condition for the center of distances of the set of subsums of a fast…

We investigate the interrelations between labeled trees and ultrametric spaces generated by these trees. The labeled trees, which generate complete ultrametrics, totally bounded ultrametrics, and discrete ones, are characterized up to…

We determine the maximum distance between any two of the center, centroid, and subtree core among trees with a given order. Corresponding results are obtained for trees with given maximum degree and also for trees with given diameter. The…

The necessary and sufficient conditions under which a given family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of finite set $X$ coincides with the family $\mathbf{B}_X$ of all balls generated by some ultrametric $d$ on $X$ are found. It is shown that the…

In this paper we introduce the notion of the center of distances of a metric space, which is required for a generalization of the theorem by J. von Neumann about permutations of two sequences with the same set of cluster points in a compact…

Given a set of points in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^\ell$ with $\ell>1$, the pairwise distances between the points are determined by their spatial location and the metric $d$ that we endow $\mathbb{R}^\ell$ with. Hence, the distance…

Metric embeddings are central to metric theory and its applications. Here we consider embeddings of a different sort: maps from a set to subsets of a metric space so that distances between points are approximated by minimal distances…

Let $(X, d)$ be an ultrametric space and let $d_H$ be the Hausdorff distance on the set $\bar{\mathbf{B}}_X$ of all closed balls in $(X, d)$. Some interconnections between the properties of the spaces $(X, d)$ and $(\bar{\mathbf{B}}_X,…

We study the conditions under which the isometry of spaces with metrics generated by weights given on the edges of finite trees is equivalent to the isomorphism of these trees. Similar questions are studied for ultrametric spaces generated…

In this paper, we introduce a notion of the center and radius of a subset A of metric space X. In the Euclidean spaces, this notion can be seen as the extension of the center and radius of open/closed balls. The center and radius of a…

Let $G=(V_G, E_G)$ be a simple connected graph. The eccentric distance sum of $G$ is defined as $\xi^{d}(G) = \sum_{v\in V_G}\varepsilon_{G}(v)D_{G}(v)$, where $\varepsilon_G(v)$ is the eccentricity of the vertex $v$ and $D_G(v) =…

In his seminal paper on triangle centers, Clark Kimberling made a number of conjectures concerning the distances between triangle centers. For example, if $D(i; j)$ denotes the distance between triangle centers $X_i$ and $X_j$ , Kimberling…

An ultrametric defined on a subset S of a metric space X can be extended to X while roughly preserving distances between pairs in S x X.

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by \[I(\mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y),\] and set $M(X) = \sup…

We analyze the interplay between labeled trees and the ultrametric spaces they present. We provide characterizations of labeled trees that generate separable ultrametric spaces and those that generate locally finite ultrametric spaces. In…

We will say that an infinite tree $T$ is almost a ray if $T$ is the union of a ray and a finite tree. Let $l$ be a non-degenerate labeling of the vertex set $V$ of almost a ray $T$ and let $d_l$ be the corresponding ultrametric on $V$. It…
