Inclusion-exclusion and network reliability
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 5 (1998)
Based on a recent improvement of the inclusion-exclusion principle, we present a new approach to network reliability problems. In particular, we give a new proof of a result of Shier, which expresses the reliability of a network as an alternating sum over chains in a semilattice, and a new proof of a result of Provan and Ball, which provides an algorithm for computing network reliability in pseudopolynomial time. Moreover, some results on $k$-out-of-$n$ systems are established.
