  • Abstract
    For a redundant propulsion system with energy constraints it is shown that fault tree analysis with delayed inputs is an effective means to simplify probabilistic reasoning, i.e. to replace such reasoning by simpler, straight forward analysis that relies heavily on a special pseudo-Boolean algebra.
