A RECURSIVE METHOD FOR COMPUTING THE RELIABILITY OF CIRCULAR CONSECUTIVE 2-OUT-OF-(m, n): F SYSTEM

A circular consecutive 2-out-of-(m, n): F system is considered. A recursive method for calculating the reliability of the system is presented. The method depends on the one-to-one correspondence relation of the systems and the class of 0–1 matrices having no two consecutive 1's at any row or column.
