Abstract: An algorithm for partitioning a complex system into its independent constituents is developed. The N2 method is used for the problem formulation whereby the objective is to obtain a system presentation in a simple flow. The development of the algorithm is based on graph theory techniques. The algorithm is formulated using graph theory and N2 charts. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the relative ease of the algorithm employment. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
