The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate that many results attributed to the classical k-means clustering algorithm with the squared Euclidean distance can be extended to many other distance-like functions. We
focus on entropy-like distances based on Bregman [88] and Csiszar [119] divergences, which have previously been shown to be
useful in various optimization and clustering contexts. Further, the chapter reviews various versions of the classical k-means and BIRCH clustering algorithms with squared Euclidean distance and considers modifications of these algorithms with
the proposed families of distance-like functions. Numerical experiments with some of these modifications are reported.
