Partitions: Optimality And Clustering - Vol Ii: Multi-parameter - Hwang, Frank Kwang-ming (Nat'l Chiao-tung Univ, Taiwan) a Rothblum, Uriel R (Technion, Israel) a Chen, Hong-bin (Academia Sicina, Taiwan)

The need for optimal partition arises from many real-world problems involving the distribution of limited resources to many users. The "clustering" problem, which has received a lot of attention, is a special case of optimal partitioning. This book attempts to collect the theoretical developments of optimal partitions.
