Title :
A new bounding procedure for the network reliability problem

Abstract :
A description is given of a way to obtain bounds which will be tight over the class of networks for all possible values of the edge failure rate. These bounds have been shown to be valid for a certain range of edge failure rates. The author discusses the known bounding methods before proposing the new approach
