COMMENTS

A tree has either a center or a bicenter and either a centroid or a bicentroid. (These terms were introduced by Jordan.)
If the number of edges in a longest path in the tree is 2m, then the middle node in the path is the unique center, otherwise the two middle nodes in the path are the unique bicenters.
