Different from the classical $ k $-means problem, the functional $ k $-means problem involves a kind of dynamic data, which is generated by continuous processes. In this paper, we mainly design an $ O(\ln\; k) $-approximation algorithm based on the seeding method for functional $ k $-means problem. Moreover, the numerical experiment presented shows that this algorithm is more efficient than the functional $ k $-means clustering algorithm.

Keywords: functional $ k $-means, $ k $-means, seeding algorithm, approximation algorithm.
