Abstract

The failure event of a network can be expressed as the simultaneous failure of all the paths from source to terminal. This event can be expanded into disjoint events by using three simple lemmas to obtain the symbolic unreliability expression [2]. This paper first describes an algorithm, illustrated with a manual example, to derive the minimal paths between source and terminal. This is followed by the description of a computerised system which first derives all the minimal paths and then the unreliability expression using Ahmad-Jamil lemmas [2]. The results of the program execution on three different networks along with a discussion on the results are also presented.
