Title: The bi-partial versions of the K-means algorithm and their potential applications to the generic facility location problem

Abstract:

The present report constitutes a continuation to the initial study of the bi-partial version of the well known original p-median or p center facility location problem. The bipartial approach, developed by the author, primarily to deal with the clustering problems, is shown here to work for a problem that does not, in principle, possess some of the essential properties, inherent to the bi-partial formulations. It is shown that the general objective function of the problem considered, can be correctly interpreted in terms of the bi-partial approach, that it in fact possesses the essential properties that are at the core of the bi-partial approach, and, finally, that the general algorithmic precepts of the bi partial approach can also be effectively applied to this problem. In this particular case, the precepts of the classical k-means procedure are referred to. The effectiveness of the proposal is shown for certain variants of the problem, with the bipartial counterparts appropriately defined.
