  • Abstract
    A Markov model is given for a class of series systems which have fault detectors to find component failures. The optimal allocation of fault detectors is determined. This problem is a nonlinear 0-1 integer programming (0-1 IP) problem. The problem is solved easily because the nonlinearity is of a special type. An illustrative example is given.
