Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Factoring algorithm with reductions was recently proposed method for exactly computing failure frequencies of telecommunications networks. However, it has a limitation of computation time because the computation problem of failure frequency is known as NP hard. Another result show that the delta-star conversion is a high-speed approximation method but its application is strictly limited, because it needs a special topology expressed by triangle. To overcome these limitations, it is a reasonable idea of combining the factoring algorithm with reductions and delta-star conversion in a certain manner. Now, this paper first realizes this combined method to compute network failure frequency. We have implemented it on a workstation, and numerical examples show that this combined method realizes high-speed computation with high-accuracies.
