STATE VARIABLE STAR ALGORITHM AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Liu Z · Chinese Journal of Computers · 1984
By employing four-valued Boolean algebra, Poage s line state equations are analyzed, and line recurrence formulas of components in star algorithm are derived, so that the star algorithm can be combined with the line state method. On this basis, the star expansions involving all possible faults in a logic network can completely reflect the cause-effect relations among network input and output as well as the faults in the network. Thus problems in fault diagnosis can be described and handled more conveniently and more systematically . Finally, the application of the state variable star algorithm to certain areas of fault diagnosis is illustrated by examples.
