A double-loop network with hop constants h 1 , h 2 , DL(n, h 1 , h 2 ) may be represented as a directed graph with n nodes 0, 1, . . . , n 0 1 and 2n links of the form i r i / h 1 mod n and i r i / h 2 mod n (referred to as h 1 -links and h 2 -links). They have been proposed as architectures for loc

β¦ Synopsis
Double loop networks have been intensively studied as interconnecting networks. However, the reliability analysis of such networks has hit a snag since the usual measure of reliability, the graph connectivity, is completely powerless as all double loops, if connected, are 2-connected. Recently, Hwang and Li introduced a new analysis by partitioning cutsets into isolated and nonisolated ones and gave results on both types. Along the same line, we extent their results to the survival reliability model by showing that when each node fails independently with a very small probability, G(1, 1 +
[n/21) is the most reliable connected double loop network except when n = 3 and 9, in which case G(1, 2) is the most reliable.

Multiplicative inequalities for reliability bounds are derived, by observing that certain reliability measures are positively correlated. These inequalities can be used to obtain substantial improvements on available bounds for network reliability. ## 1. BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION In the network de
The probability that a computer network is operational in an environment of statistically independent link failures has been widely studied. Three natural problems arise, when all nodes are to be connected (all-terminal reliability), when two nodes are to communicate (2-terminal reliability), and wh
