Using the Frobenius norm as a measure of the distance to feasibility, a nonconvex minimization problem is formulated, whose objective function is a sum of fractional functions. A branch-and-bound algorithm for solving this nonconvex program is proposed, based on suitably overestimating the denominator function for computing lower bounds. Computational experience is presented to demonstrate the efficacy of this approach.&lt;/p&gt;
