ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the design and implementation of  PolyChain, a FORTRAN program for reliability evaluation of undirected networks of a special structure via polygon-to-chain reductions.  Theorectical results presented in Satyanarayana & Wood are reviewed.  The program's design and its implementation in FORTRAN are described.  A small problem is tested, illustrating the code's output.  Several large problems are run to evaluate the code's performance capabilities.
