HTML

Many real-world problems, such as power line transmission planning, computer network management, water pipe planning, and traffic flow planning, can be modeled using multistate network systems. One of the most interesting aspects of these problems is that one typically wishes to know the reliability of such a plan, namely the network reliability. To evaluate the reliability of a specific network s...Show More

Reduced Recursive Inclusion-exclusion Principle for the probability of union events

2014 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management

Year: 2014 | Conference Paper |

Cited by: Papers (12)

HTML

The probability of union events is always important in management science. Many real life applications use such probability in their core implementations. The most popular method to calculate the probability of union events is the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle (IEP), which originates from the idea of Abraham de Moivre (1718). However, the computation complexity is exact O(2n), and no matter what t...Show More

IEEE Transactions on Reliability

Year: 2012 | Volume: 61, Issue: 4 | Journal Article |

Cited by: Papers (71)

HTML

An active research field is the evaluation of the reliability of a complex network. The most popular methods for such evaluation often use Minimal Paths (MP) or Minimal Cuts (MC) of the network. Although there are many algorithms developed to search for MP or MC, most of them are inefficient for searching a large network due to the combinatorial explosion problem. Another disadvantage is that the ...Show More
