The weak-similarity characterization of maximal centers of distances
Let and let and be ultrametric spaces such that
and
where denotes the center of distances of . A bijection is a weak similarity if there is a strictly increasing function such that
for all .
The weak-similarity characterization. The equality
holds if and only if and are weakly similar.
This conjecture asks whether, under the maximal-cardinality condition on the center of distances, equality of the cardinalities of the centers characterizes weak similarity. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
