تأثیر اندازه جمعیت بر کارایی الگوریتم های تکاملی برای طراحی شبکه های آب

First, the different algorithm parameters for each network are calibrated. The values used for every EA are those that have been calculated in previous works. Secondly, specific parameters remain constant and the population size is modified. After more than 500,000 simulations, the influence of the population size is statistically analyzed in the final solutions. Finally, the efficiency was analyzed for each network and algorithm. The results ensure the best possible configuration based on the quality of the solutions and the convergence speed of the algorithm, depending of the population size.
