On asymmetric invalidation with partial tests

R. Gupta and I.V. Ramakrishnan (1987) proposed a general model for fault diagnosis that uniformly handles intermittent faults, masking, and partial testing. In this model, the diagnosability problem is open if asymmetric invalidation is used, although a polynomial time algorithm was once incorrectly claimed. It is shown that the problem is really co-NP complete. An efficient diagnosis algorithm for this model is presented.<
