Could anyone help me to have similar cluster centers in PSO

PSO aims in attaining the different clusters centers for each cluster suct that the distance between the centroids location and the users should be minimum.

But i need to have similar cluster centers for all clusters such that the distance between the centroids location and the users should be maximum.

Could anyone please help me on this.

Move all of the centroids to infinity. The distance between the centroids and the users will be infinite, which is the maxim you could hope for.

I tried with -infinity where the distance between the centroids position and users gets maximized and with respect to infinity the distance between the centroids position and users gets minimized.

For both the cases the centroids position found to be different for each cluster.But what I actually need is the centroids position neds to be same for all clusters.

Could you please help me on this.

centroid_coordinates(1:Number_of_clusters, 1:2) = inf;

These are the final coordinates to use, not the initial coordinates.
