Genetic algorithm for networks with dynamic mutation rate

A genetic algorithm based on hydraulic optimization is applied in the paper in order to achieve the lowest possible costs, the most appropriate pipe diameter, and the most favourable longitudinal slope values. A new algorithm for mutation operation, called the dynamic mutation rate method, is propos...
