A statistical clustering model and algorithm

In this paper, a statistical clustering model and algorithm have been discussed. Finding the optimal solution toclustering problem is transformed into simulating the equilibrium state of a physical system., and then the equilibrium state of physical system is simulated by solving a series of problems to minimize the free energy which varies with temperature andattains the ground state of the system. Moreover, a great number of simulating examples make it clear that the clustering algorithm can be widely used, especially for the problem to which the traditional clustering algorithms are helpless.
