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.
