Abstract

We analyze the complexity of one extremal problem of choosing a subset of \(p\) points in a given finite set in a metric space. The chosen subset of points isrequired to describe given clusters in the best way from the point of view of some geometriccriterion. This problem is a formalization of one applied problem from data mining that consistsin finding a subset of typical representatives of a dataset based on the rival similarity function. Weprove that the problem under consideration is NP-hard by polynomially reducing the well-knownNP-hard 3D-Matching problem to this one.
