A New Heuristic Criterion for Solving a Redundancy Optimization Problem

Abstract
An algorithm for the heuristic solution of redundancy optimization problems is presented. There may be any number of constraints which need not be linear. For selecting the stage where redundancy is to be added, a heuristic criterion is introduced which takes into account the relative increment in reliability versus decrement in slacks. The algorithm is simple and requires minimum computation.
