Birnbaum importance-based simulated annealing algorithm for solving the component assignment problem of linear connected-(r, s)-out-of-(m, n):F lattice systems

The component assignment problem (CAP) is one of the most important problems in reliability engineering. This paper proposes a Birnbaum importance-based simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for the CAP of linear connected-( r ,  s )-out-of-( m ,  n ):F lattice systems. Here, the CAP is assigning the c...
