“COLORING” OF MAP BY FINITE NUMBER OF COLORED POINTS USING FUZZY RECTANGLES

In this paper an algorithm of a map “coloring” by a finite number of color points is constructed. This algorithm is based on the procedure of the interval images recognition and on the algorithm of a construction of a fuzzy rectangle. It is significantly simpler and compact than the triangulation procedure using in the mapping.

VERIFICATION OF THE SOFTWARE RELIABILITY MODELS

The paper concerns the verification of the existing Software reliability models and their comparison to a new one based on the theory of Software system dynamics. A statistically significant number of observations over the process of fault detecting in the fifty different Software systems has been used for the verification. The results of comparison of estimation correctness of the nine most widely used reliability models to the new one based on the theory of Software system dynamics are represented. It has been proven the Software system dynamics model provided 2,7 times higher correctness of reliability estimation than the existing reliability models.

CONFIDENCE LIMITS ON PERCENTILES BASED ON TEST RESULTS WITH A FEW FAILURES – NON-PARAMETRIC VERSUS EXPONENTIAL

The non-parametric lower confidence limits on percentiles in the classes of continuous and increasing failure rate distributions are compared to their parametric exponential counterpart for the Type II censored data.  In opposite to the common belief that non-parametric estimation procedures are always less effective than analogous parametric procedures, in the considered case, it turns out that the non-parametric procedures provide either better or the same confidence estimates.  In a particular case, when the data include only one uncensored observation (failure) and all three estimates (in the classes of continuous distributions, increasing failure rate distributions and the exponential distribution) exist, the respective three lower confidence limits on percentiles coincide.

ASYMPTOTIC OF CYCLY EXISTENCE IN ORIENTED GRAPH WITH LOW RELIABLE EDGES

In this paper a power asymptotic of a probability that there is a cycle in a random oriented graph with n nodes and low reliable edges is constructed. An accelerated algorithm for a calculation of asymptotic coefficients with products, where  is an amount of products in a multiplication of two matrixes with a size is constructed.

APPLICATION OF BAYESIAN METHODS TO EVENT TREES WITH CASE STUDIES

Event trees are used extensively to analyze accident scenarios in several domains. The tree and its branching structures are used to represent the failure of successive barriers to an initiating event. The end positions of the branches indicate the outcome of progression of each scenario. When probabilities are assigned to success and failure of each barrier the end probabilities can be calculated fairly easily. The logical sequence of the events is clear from the tree structure. However Bayesian networks (BN) are directed acyclic graphs with the nodes indicating events and connected arcs indicating the relationships between the nodes.  Initial probabilities are assigned to the parent nodes and conditional probabilities of child nodes are worked out using Bayes Theorem. Bayesian network is a probabilistic modeling technique. Event trees can be mapped into Bayesian networks. Once an event tree is mapped as a Bayesian network, forward (same as in event trees) and backward analysis (possible but involved in event trees) can be performed. Additionally BN has the flexibility for adding causal factors that influence the events. It offers a different perspective of probabilities and better understanding of the incident scenarios. This paper will present mapping of event trees typically found in process industries to Bayesian networks with case studies.

ORIENTED GRAPHS WITH UNRELIABLE NODES

In applications there are networks with unreliable nodes. To construct models of such networks and effective algorithms of their analysis in this paper some elements from the graph theory, the algebra, the sets theory and the probability theory are combined. These constructions allow to investigate oriented graphs with unreliable nodes using as accuracy so asymptotic formulas. All constructed algorithms have a linear complexity by a number of graph nodes.

COMPARISON OF WAYS OF NORMALIZATION AT CLASSIFICATION OF INITIAL DATA

Normalization at classification of initial data is an indispensable condition of an opportunity of comparison of technical and economic characteristics of the equipment and devices of power supply systems. In work, results of comparison of efficiency of ways of normalization of quantitative estimations of analyzed characteristics used in practice are resulted.

A SOLUTION CONVERGENCE IN A NEURAL NETWORK, AND AN ACCOUNTING OF LOAD PRIORITIES AT A POWER SYSTEM RESTORATION

Uniqueness of solution at a scheme choice for the restorable power system on the artificial neural network (ANN) base is shown. The elementary scheme of a power network is used for this purpose and the subsequent distribution of its results is applied on any network configuration. The way of priority accounting for loads is developed at creation of the restorable power system on the base of the proof on solution uniqueness for ANN
