    The author proposes an approximate algorithm for clustering n objects with weights \(w_ i\) into p classes, so as to minimize the variance of class weights. The run time of the algorithm is 0(n log p) and its relative approximation error is 0(1/n) if p and \(r=(\max w_ i)/(\min wi)\) are bounded.
