A recursive procedure for optimally designing a hybrid fault diagnosable system

Abstract

The authors give a simple recursive procedure for designing an optimal n-unit t/r/r-diagnosable system on the basis of an optimal n'-unit t'/r'/r'-diagnosable system where t>or=t', r>or=r', and n>or=n'. This recursive procedure is shown to be of great flexibility. Furthermore, it is shown that the procedure can produce a large number of optimal hybrid-fault-diagnosable systems.<>
