Closed-ball characterization via distance sets in ultrametric spaces
Closed-ball characterization via distance sets in ultrametric spaces
Let ) be an ultrametric space. For each , define
Let denote the set of all closed balls of , and let denote the family of centered spheres of . The closed-ball characterization conjecture. If
then has a greatest element for every and . Conversely, if and has a greatest element for every and , then
This conjecture seeks an intrinsic distance-set criterion for all closed balls to be centered spheres; the source gives no resolution status.
