Abstract

In this paper, we apply to a genetic algorithm for fuzzy clustering. We propose initialization procedure and genetic operators such as selection, crossover and mutation, which are suitable for solving the problems. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we solve the manufacturing cell formation problem and present computational comparisons to generalized Fuzzy c-Means algorithm.
