Abstract

An algorithm is presented for evaluation of reliability of any redundant network. It uses the properties of digraphs and is especially suitable for the computer analysis of large complex networks. A method for deriving the reliability expression for any type of network is also described along with a Fortran computer program for the reliability evaluation of series-parallel networks.
