An optimization model for multi-source pumping tree-type pipe network is established, in which the investment and operating cost are considered simultaneously. Useing graph theory knowledge, the essence of pipe layout optimization for multi-sources tree-type pipe network is searching for a group of optimal subtrees. In the complete optimization of pipe network, the pipe layout mode and pipe diameter are needed to optimize simultaneously, so the dual coding genetic algorithm combining binary coding with integer coding is adopted, and the pipe diameter restriction is satisfied automatically. According to the tree character, method based on cycle is adopted in the operational process of binary coding, the partheno-genetic operation is designed to produce new individual, the infeasible solutions are avoided. Example shows the efficiency of the algorithm.

In view of the virtue and shortage of genetic algorithm and BP network, this paper proposes a new BP network training method based on improved genetic algorithm (IGA-BP). This algorithm uses hierarchical code, adaptive crossover and mutation, pruning similar chromosomes, dynamic supply new chromosomes and other operations, so the network structure and weight are optimized at the same time and the "premature" phenomenon is avoided. The simulation results show that the IGA-BP network architecture is simple, the convergence rate is quick, and has good approximation and generalization ability.
