Abstract :
This work presents an interval optimization technique to compute the global minimum of the objective cost function arising in system redundancy and unit redundancy optimization problems. This new technique is compared with the lagrangian multipliers method, which is commonly used to deal with this type of optimization problems. Some illustrative examples are considered
