  • Abstract
    In this paper various conditions that should exist in the fault trees for the application of Boolean identity xixj + xix¿j = xi have been discussed. It has also been algebraically proved that this identity is not required if preceded by xi + xixj = xi and xixj + xixj = xixj, in the simplification of logical expressions of fault trees, or else when the fault tree has a redundant arc.
