Spectral clustering is discussed from many perspectives, by extending it to rectangular arrays and discrepancy minimization too. Near optimal clusters are obtained with singular value decomposition and with the weighted k-means algorithm. In case of rectangular arrays, this means enhancing the method of correspondence analysis with clustering, and in case of edge-weighted graphs, a normalized Laplacian based clustering. In the latter case it is proved that a spectral gap between the (k-1)th and kth smallest positive eigenvalues of the normalized Laplacian matrix gives rise to a sudden decrease of the inner cluster variances when the number of clusters of the vertex representatives is 2^k-1, but only the first k-1 eigenvectors, constituting the so-called Fiedler-carpet, are used in the representation. Application to directed migration graphs is also discussed.
