k-means clustering (KM) algorithm, also called hardc-means clustering (HCM) algorithm, is a very powerful clustering algorithm [1, 2], but it has a serious problem of strong initial value dependence. To decrease the dependence, Arthur and Vassilvitskii proposed an algorithm ofk-means++ clustering (KM++) algorithm on 2007 [3]. By the way, there are many case that each object is allocated on an unit sphere, e.g. text clustering. Dhillon and Modha proposed the primitive sphericalk-means clustering algorithm to classify such objects on 2007 [4] and Honik, Kober, and Buchta proposed new sphericalk-means clustering (SKM) algorithm on 2012 [5]. However, both of the algorithms also have the same problem of initial value dependence as KM. Therefore, the paper discuss the following points: (1) the dissimilarity of SKM is extended to satisfy the triangle inequality, and (2) sphericalk-means++ clustering (SKM++) algorithm which works well for the problem is proposed. The paper shows that the effectiveness of SKM++ is theoretically guaranteed.
