The realization conjecture for finite distance centers of ultrametric spaces

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let AA be a finite subset of R+\mathbb{R}^+ with 0∈A0\in A. For a finite ultrametric space (X,d)(X,d), let D(X)D(X) be its distance set and let C(X)C(X) be its center of distances.

The realization conjecture. There exists a finite ultrametric space (X,d)(X,d) such that

D(X)=C(X)=A.D(X)=C(X)=A.

This conjecture asks whether every finite set of nonnegative real numbers containing zero can occur simultaneously as the distance set and center of distances of a finite ultrametric space. The source mentions motivation from results of Mateusz Kula but gives no resolution status.
