  • Abstract
    The general k-terminal reliability problem for undirected graph models is considered. An algorithm, named MBA, is developed that uses the approximation approach. It utilizes Monte Carlo simulation, together with breadth-first search, to find the reliability. After a sufficient number of simulations, an accurate reliability estimate is found in feasible and practical time
