Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE International Conference on Y1 - 2002 VL - 2 SP - 1460 EP - 1465 M2 - doi: 10.1109/fuzz.2002.1006721 N2 - We explore an approach to possibilistic fuzzy clustering that avoids a severe drawback of the conventional approach, namely that the objective function is truly minimized only if all cluster centers are identical. Our approach is based on the idea that this undesired property can be avoided if we introduce a mutual repulsion of the clusters, so that they are forced away from each other. We develop this approach for the possibilistic fuzzy c-means algorithm and the Gustafson-Kessel algorithm ER -
