본 논문에서는, 퍼지 클러스터의 수가 증가함에 따라 나타나는 퍼지 클러스터링 타당성 평가 기준의 단조 감소 현상을 억제하는 새로운 퍼지 클러스터링 타당성 평가 기준을 제시한다. 또한, 제시된 평가 기준의 성질을 조사하고 기존의 퍼지 클러스터링 타당성 평가 기준과의 차이점에 대하여 논한다. 마지막으로, 퍼지 크러스터링에 자주 인용되는 몇 가지 전형적인 자료에 대한 모의 실험을 통하여 제시된 평가 기준의 효용성을 보인다.

A fast and efficient search algorithm to determine an optimal number of clusters in clustering algorithms is presented. The method is based on cluster validity index which is a measure for clustering optimality. As the clustering procedure progresses and reaches an optimal cluster configuration, the cluster validity index is expected to be minimized or maximized. In this Paper, a fast non-exhaustive search method for finding the optimal number of clusters is designed and shown to work well in clustering. The proposed algorithm is implemented with the k-mean++ algorithm as underlying clustering techniques using CB and PBM as a cluster validity index. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides the computation time efficiency without loss of accuracy on several artificial and real-life data sets.

The facility location problem is one of the traditional optimization problems. In this paper, we deal with the single source capacitated facility location problem (SSCFLP) and it is known as an NP-hard problem. Thus, it seems to be natural to use a heuristic approach such as evolutionary algorithms for solving the SSCFLP. This paper introduces a new efficient evolutionary algorithm for the SSCFLP. The proposed algorithm is devised by incorporating a general adaptive link adjustment evolutionary algorithm and three heuristic local search methods. Finally we compare the proposed algorithm with the previous algorithms and show the proposed algorithm finds optimum solutions at almost all middle size test instances and very stable solutions at larger size test instances.
