  • Abstract
    One aspect of the PMC system level fault model, the properties of the implied faulty sets, is considered. For τ-diagnosable systems that have at most τ faulty units, lower bounds on the cardinality of the maximal implied faulty sets are given. Then it is shown that these bounds are greatest lower bounds, and it is indicated how these results can be used in diagnosis algorithms
