Abstract
The Fuzzy clustering (FC) problem is a non-convex mathematical program which usually possesses several local minima. The global minimum solu tion of the problem is found using a simulated annealing-based algorit hm. Some preliminary computational experiments are reported and the so lution is compared with that generated by the Fuzzy C-means algorithm.
