Abstract
The paper gives a new interpretation and a possible optimization of the wellknown k-means algorithm for searching for a locally optimal partition of the set A = {ai ∈ ℝn: i = 1, …, m} which consists of k disjoint nonempty subsets π1, …, πk, 1 ⩽ k ⩽ m. For this purpose, a new divided k-means algorithm was constructed as a limit case of the known smoothed k-means algorithm. It is shown that the algorithm constructed in this way coincides with the k-means algorithm if during the iterative procedure no data points appear in the Voronoi diagram. If in the partition obtained by applying the divided k-means algorithm there are data points lying in the Voronoi diagram, it is shown that the obtained result can be improved further.
