Abstract: A redundant subnetwork reducing technique was presented for the reliability analysis of infrastructure networks containning articulate nodes. This simplification technique could identify and delete the redundant subnetwork based on articulate nodes, and thus the network reliability could be calculated very quickly based on a reduced network. According to the experimental results on some selected networks from USAir97 benchmark, the redundant subnetwork reducing method could achieve a great reduction on computing time for reliability calculation. Thus the performance of infrastructure networks reliability analysis could be greatly enhanced.

Key words: network simplification, network reliability, infrastructure networks, redundant subnetwork, articulate nodes
