Abstract
- Abstract: The objective of this paper is to present a novel method to achieve maximum reliability for fault tolerant optimal network design when network has variable size. Reliability calculation is most important and critical component when fault tolerant optimal network design is required. A network must be supplied with certain parameters that guarantee proper functionality and maintainability under worse situations. Many alternative methods for measuring reliability have been stated in literature for optimal network design. Most of these methods mentioned in literature for evaluating reliability may be analytical and simulation based. These methods provide significant way to compute reliability when network has limited size. Also, significant computational effort is required for growing variable sized networks. Therefore, a novel neural network method is presented to achieve significant high reliability for fault tolerant optimal network design in highly growing variable networks. This paper computes reliability with improved learning rate gradient descent based neural network method. The result shows that improved optimal network design with maximum reliability is achievable by novel neural network at manageable computational cost. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
