β¦ Synopsis
The median and centroid of an arbitrary graph G are two different generalizations of the branch weight centroid of a tree. As such, they are closely related, but they can actually be disjoint. On the one hand, they are, for example, always contained in the same block of any connected graph G. However, they can be arbitrarily far apart. Specifically, given any three graphs H, J, and K, and a positive integer k Υ 4, there exists a graph G with center, median, and centroid subgraphs isomorphic to H, J, and K, respectively, and the distance between any two of these subgraphs is at least k.

## Abstract The median of a weighted finite metric space consists of the points minimizing the total weighted distance to the points of the space. The centroid is formed by the points __p__ satisfying the following minimax condition: the maximal weight of a geodesically convex set not containing a
## Abstract The directed distance __d__~__D__~(__u, v__) from a vertex __u__ to a vertex __v__ in a strong digraph __D__ is the length of a shortest (directed) __u β v__ path in __D.__ The eccentricity of a vertex __v__ in __D__ is the directed distance from __v__ to a vertex furthest from __v.__ T
