ON REDUCTION OF A MATRIX OF MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE STATES AND ITS APPLICATION TO SIMULATION MODELS

Abstract

The paper presents the results of an effort to reduce the computer storage and execution time requirements for storing and processing matrices representing non-compatible system states or conflicts. Using previous methods the application of a conflicting matrix to simulation models was wasteful of time and/or storage. The method described provides the capability to apply a large matrix to simulation models with a greatly reduced requirement for core and processing time. Examples are given applying the method to conflicting maintenance on aircraft.
