For the constrained 2-means problem, we present a $O\left(dn+d({1\over\epsilon})^{O({1\over \epsilon})}\log n\right)$ time algorithm. It generates a collection $U$ of approximate center pairs $(c_1, c_2)$ such that one of pairs in $U$ can…

Given a data set of size $n$ in $d'$-dimensional Euclidean space, the $k$-means problem asks for a set of $k$ points (called centers) so that the sum of the $\ell_2^2$-distances between points of a given data set of size $n$ and the set of…
