Abstract

A membership matrix of fuzzy c-mans clustering is associated with the corresponding fuzzy classification rules as membership functions defined on the whole space. In this paper such functions in fuzzy c-means and possibilistic clustering are directly derived using the calculus of variations. Consequently, the present formulation generalizes the ordinary fuzzy c-means and moreover related methods can be discussed within this framework.
