Abstract

In this paper we develop an algorithm for allocating redundancy among subsystems so as to achieve maximum system reliability without exceeding any of several linear constraints on redundancy. The algorithm represents a generalization of the one developed by Kettelle for the case of a single constraint on redundancy, published in this Journal in 1962.
