Models and algorithms of evolutionary synthesis for optimization of engineering networks

This paper devoted to solving problem of the optimization of engineering networks. The modified differential evolution algorithm applied to hypernetwork theory model is presented. The method, in comparison with the classical methods of optimization, allows to take into account parameters interdependence placement areas and design networks is proposed. The results of the numerical experiments on location of the engineering network in a given area are presented.

I. Introduction

It is obvious that with increasing volume of target products (information, energy, product), consumed in industry, agriculture and municipal services, there is a need to build engineering networks for various purposes such as gas, oil and water pipelines, heating networks, the network of roads and railways, the data transmission and power network, etc.
