Abstract: Model-based diagnosis is an important research direction in the field of artificial intelligence, and solving the MCS (minimal conflict set) is an important step to solve the diagnosis problem. The MCS-SFFO(minimal conflict set-structural feature of fault output) method searches the set enumeration tree (SE-Tree) by a reverse depth-first way and then prunes the combination of fault output-independent components. Based on the MCS-SFFO method, a further pruning method for solving the minimal conflict set MCS-FLR(minimal conflict set-fault logic relationship) is proposed based on the fault logic relationship of the circuit. The non-conflict theorem of the single-component is proposed, which prunes the single component, to avoid the solution-free space. Secondly, the non-minimum conflict set theorem is proposed, that is, the supersets of the fault output related is all conflict sets, and the non-minimum conflict set can be further pruned in the solution space. Based on the MCS-SFFO method, the MCS-FLR method further prunes both the solution space as well as the solution-free space, which reduces the number of times the solution space and part of the solution-free space call SAT solver, saving the solution times. The experimental results show that compared with the MCS-SFFO method, the efficiency of the MCS-FLR method is significantly improved.
