Procedure: Merge(C)

1: C: the cluster list

2: MaxPair: the cluster pair(c, k) with max interconnections among all cluster pair

3: Max.value: interconnections between cluster pair c and k

4: MaxPair ← findMaxPair(C,null)

5: while Max.value ≥ do

6:    newCluster ← merge MaxPair c and k

7:    Replace cluster c with newCluster

8:    Remove cluster k

9:    MaxPair ← findMaxPair(C,newCluster)

10: end while

11: return C
