摘要:The purpose of this paper is to propose a new clustering algorithm, which combines membrane computing with a modified chameleon algorithm. The new algorithm is called as P-chameleon algorithm, which can obtain the k-nearest graphs, complete the partition of graph, aggregate subgraphs through communication rules and rewriting rules with the help of active promoters and inhibitors. The whole process of P-chameleon algorithm is shown by a 10 points test data set, which indicates the feasibility of the algorithm. All the processes are conducted in membranes. Cluster results via the famous wine data set verify that the proposed P-chameleon algorithm can cluster data set more accurate and less time consuming. The influences of parameters to the algorithm are also illustrated. The P-chameleon algorithm provides an alternative for traditional computing.
