A Decomposition Algorithm for Network Reliability Evaluation

This paper presents an algorithm for computing the K-terminal reliability of undirected networks, i.e. the probability that a given set of vertices in the network are connected. when edges and nodes fail independently with known probabilities. This algorithm is based on a decomposition method introduced by Rosenthal. It consists in numbering the vertices of the graph so that the successive boun...

An Improved Algorithm for Symbolic Reliability Analysis

The purpose of this paper is to describe an efficient Boolean algebraic algorithm to compute the probability of a union of non-disjoint sets as applied to symbolic reliability analysis. Coherent networks and fault-trees with statisticallyindependent components characterized by their minimal pathsets or cutsets are used as examples for generating the non-disjoint sets. The algorithm uses the con...

AN IMPROVED CONTROLLED CHAOTIC NEURAL NETWORK FOR PATTERN RECOGNITION

A sigmoid function is necessary for creation a chaotic neural network (CNN). In this paper, a new function for CNN is proposed that it can increase the speed of convergence. In the proposed method, we use a novel signal for controlling chaos. Both the theory analysis and computer simulation results show that the performance of CNN can be improved remarkably by using our method. By means of this...

An Improved DPSO Algorithm for Cell Formation Problem

Cellular manufacturing system, an application of group technology, has been considered as an effective method to obtain productivity in a factory. For design of manufacturing cells, several mathematical models and various algorithms have been proposed in literature. In the present research, we propose an improved version of discrete particle swarm optimization (PSO) to solve manufacturing cell ...

An improved opposition-based Crow Search Algorithm for Data Clustering

Data clustering is an ideal way of working with a huge amount of data and looking for a structure in the dataset. In other words, clustering is the classification of the same data; the similarity among the data in a cluster is maximum and the similarity among the data in the different clusters is minimal. The innovation of this paper is a clustering method based on the Crow Search Algorithm (CS...
