We face the problem of strictly separating two sets of points by means of a sphere, considering the two cases where the center of the sphere is fixed or free, respectively. In particular, for the former we present a fast and simple solution algorithm, whereas for the latter one we use the DC‐Algorithm based on a DC decomposition of the error function. Numerical results for both the cases are presented on several classical binary datasets drawn from the literature.
