Abstract

This paper presents an advanced mathematical analysis and simplification of the quadratic programming problem arising from fuzzy clustering with generalized capacity constraints. We extend previous work by incorporating broader balancing constraints, allowing for weighted data points and clusters with specified capacities. Through new algebraic manipulation techniques, the original high-dimensional problem is decomposed into smaller, more tractable subproblems. Additionally, we introduce efficient algorithms for solving the reduced systems by leveraging properties of the problem's structure. Comprehensive examples with synthetic and real datasets illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques in practical scenarios, with a performance comparison against existing methods. A convergence analysis of the proposed algorithm is also included, demonstrating its reliability. Limitations and contexts where the application of these techniques may not be efficient are discussed.
