The design problem considered in this paper is the optimal distribution of pressure drop over a network in which flow-rates are specified, but pipe diameters may vary. By using elements of the duality theory of nonlinear programming, the problem is cast in a form which is computationally attractive.
Integrated optimization of structural topology and control system is considered. The problem is formulated as mixed discrete-continuous multi-objective programming with a linear quadratic regulator cost index, and measures of robustness and controllability as objectives. The Genetic Algorithm (GA),
