Centered tree


right|frame|On the left a centered tree, on the right a bicentered one.The numbers shows the node's eccentricity.

In mathematics, a centered tree is a tree with only one center, and a bicentered tree is a tree with two centers. Any tree is either centered or bicentered.

Given a graph, the eccentricity of a vertex "v" is defined as the greatest distance from "v" to any other vertex. A center of a graph is a vertex with minimal eccentricity. A graph can have an arbitrary number of centers. For trees, however, there are only two possibilities:
# The tree has precisely one center (centered trees).
# The tree has precisely two centers (bicentered trees). In this case, the centers are always adjacent.
