Abstract:
We consider the strongly NP-hard problem of partitioning a set of Euclidean vectors into two sets (clusters) under the criterion of minimum sum-of-squared distances from the elements of clusters to their centers. The center of the first cluster is the average value of the vectors in the cluster, and the center of the second one is the origin. We prove that the problem is solvable in polynomial time in the case of fixed space dimension. We also present a pseudopolynomial algorithm which finds an optimal solution in the case of integer values of the components of the vectors in the input set and fixed space dimension. Bibliogr. 27.
Keywords:
