A fault diagnosis in a nonlinear location network (Q1095785): Difference between revisions

In location problems, the out-transmission and in-transmission numbers are important indices to evaluate a directed network in which each edge is associated with a positive real number called the length of the edge and each vertex is associated with a positive real number called the weight of the vertex. The generalized indices of the out-transmission and in-transmission numbers are used in this paper. The indices are nonlinear functions of the distances between the vertices which represent the total cost or loss of service among the vertices. By a fault, we mean a change in the length of an edge. A fault diagnosis problem is discussed in a directed network in which the above indices are measurable at all times.
