An algorithm for partitioning a complex system into its independent constituents is developed. The N 2 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 N 2 charts. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the relative ease of the algorithm employment. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
