Optimal algorithms for complete linkage clustering in d dimensions

Krznaric, Drago and Levcopoulos, Christos LU orcid (2002) 286(1). p.139-149
Abstract
It is shown that the complete linkage clustering of n points in R-d, where d greater than or equal to 1 is a constant, can be computed in optimal O(nlogn) time and linear space, under the L-1 and L-infinity-metrics. Furthermore, for every other fixed L-t-metric, it is shown that it can be approximated within an arbitrarily small constant factor in O(nlogn) time and linear space.
