    A dynamic programming procedure is developed for \(k\)-clustering problems for linear ordered sets. If the problem has an optimal solution which is convex (which implies that the cluster sets are intervals) then the dynamic programming approach gives an \(O(kn^ 3)\)-algorithm where \(n\) is the number of items. Sufficient conditions for convexity are derived.
