Abstract: Let $M$ be an orientable, irreducible $3$-manifold and $(mathcalV,mathcalW;F)$ a weakly reducible, unstabilized Heegaard splitting of $M$ of genus at least three. In this article, we define an equivalent relation $sim$ on the set of the generalized Heegaard splittings obtained by weak reductions and find special subsets of the disk complex $mathcalD(F)$ named by the "equivalent clusters", where we can find a canonical function $Phi$ from the set of equivalent clusters to the set of the equivalent classes for the relation $sim$. As an application, we prove that if $F$ is topologically minimal and the topological index of $F$ is at least three, then there is a $2$-simplex in $mathcalD(F)$ formed by two weak reducing pairs such that the equivalent classes of the generalized Heegaard splittings obtained by weak reductions along the weak reducing pairs for the relation $sim$ are different. In the last section, we prove $Phi$ is a bijection if the genus of $F$ is three. Using it, we prove there is a canonical function $Omega$ from the set of components of $mathcal{D}_{mathcalVW}(F)$ to the set of the isotopy classes of the generalized Heegaard splittings obtained by weak reductions and describe what $Omega$ is.
