Exact equation and an algorithm for reliability evaluation of K-out-of-N: G system

Abstract An expression for reliability of K -out-of- N : G system is proposed. An algorithm for computing reliability of K -out-of- N system is given. It is an easy to implement, fast and memory efficient algorithm and helps to improve the computational efficiency considerably.
