Abstract
Techniques for generating approximate measures for terminal and network reliability in a hypercube architecture are described. First, the author considers the total number of s-t paths of cardinability H(s,t) and H(s,t)+2, where H(s,t) represents the Hamming distance between source s and terminal t, and generates a bound on terminal reliability. Various theorems which help arrive at the solution are stated and proved. Second, utilizing the concept of degree matrix (for B/sub n/), the author presents a method to obtain the total number of spanning trees in B/sub n/ and hence an approximate measure for network reliability.<>
