Abstract

We consider one problem of partitioning a finite set of points in Euclidean space into clusters so as to minimize the sum over all clusters of the intracluster sums of the squared distances between clusters elements and their centers. The centers of some clusters are given as an input, while the other centers are unknown and defined as centroids (geometrical centers). It is known that the general case of the problem is strongly NP-hard. We show that there exists an exact polynomial algorithm for the one-dimensional case of the problem.
