Tabu search algorithms for water network optimization

In this paper we propose a tabu search algorithm to find the least-cost design of looped water distribution networks. The mathematical nature of this optimization problem, a nonlinear mixed integer problem, is at the origin of a multitude of contributions to the literature in the last 25 years. In f...
