Abstract
A nonlinear integer programming model for the optimal design of a series/pa rallel reliability system is presented, together with an enumeration algori thm for its solution and an example. The algorithm is based on an efficient procedure for solving the continuous relaxation of the mathematical model. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
