Def. Let G be a graph and let v be in V(G). Let S_v = bigsum d(u,v) for all u not= v ( u in V(G)). G is called self-median if S_v = S_u for all u and v in V(G). Def. A graph G is called self-centered if every vertex is in the center. (The eccenticity of a vertex v is max d(u,v) for all u in V(G). v is in the center if v has minimum eccentricity. It is well-know that a tree has at most two vertices in its center.) CONJECTURE: Every self-median graph is self-centered. Note that every vertex transitive graph is self-median. There are examples of self-centered graphs that are not self-median, so the above inclusion would be strict. There is no known characterization of self-median graphs. There are non-regular self-medain graphs - see the recent book by Buckley and Harary "Distances in Graphs" for more information. H.S. Snevily
