Abstract
A formula that uses K-minimal Eulerian circuits and the inclusion-exclusion property to efficiently compute K-terminal reliability R/sub K/(G) for ring networks is presented. This formula is applied to three fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) ring network topologies, and it is shown that the time complexity of computing each K-terminal reliability expression is polynomially bounded. The applicability of the authors' approach is illustrated by deriving a closed-form expression of R/sub K/(G) for the FDDI double-ring topology in terms of the failure probabilities of links, network ports, and station common units. >
