摘要: The Abraham-Locks-revised (ALR) sum-of-disjoint products (SDP) algorithm is an efficient method for obtaining a system reliability formula. author describes minor modification of the ALR called Abraham-Locks-Wilson (ALW) method. new feature alternative ordering paths and terms. ALW obtains shorter disjoint formula on test example than any previous SDP allows small computational savings in processing large complex networks. As there are different ways to obtain it useful use approach which yields smallest relative effort expended. extra terms should be reasonably usually leads improved efficiency later stages algorithm. analyst operate more way many problems, particularly if overlap used early but probably ignored that contain majority Boolean variables. >
