Global Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization Revisits Optimal Valve Placement in Water Distribution Networks

Pressure management through pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) is among the most cost-effective leakage-control measures in water distribution networks, and the underlying placement problem is a nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear programme. This paper revisits the classical 25-node benchmark of Sterling and Bargiela with t...
