Fuzzy Relational Fixed Point Clustering

Abstract

The proposed relational fuzzy clustering method, called FRFP ( fuzzy relational fixed point), is based on determining a fixed point of a function of the desired membership matrix. The ethod is compared to other relational clustering methods. Simulations show the method to be very effective and less computationally expensive than other fuzzy relational data clustering methods. The membership matrices that are produced by the proposed method are less crisp than those produced
