Abstract:
In this paper we present a brief description
of a new method for simplification of symbolic network
functions. Our approach is based on utilising the large change
sensitivities, both single- and multi-parameter,
in order to select elements to be excluded from the
formula. Our technique belongs to the simplification
before generation (SBG) group of methods. The main
advantage of the described methodology is the small
number of network function recalculations and
continuous monitoring of network function behaviour
during the simplification process. Basic theoretical
principles of the method and an illustrative example
are presented.
