Abstract:Although McIlraith and Reiter characterized the test for model-based diagnosis, the limiting conditions of their researches are too strict. In this paper, the limiting conditions of relevant test theorem are relaxed and the revised releva nt test theorem and its proof are presented. As the extension of McIlraith's theories, the initial test condition of the Differential Diagnosis Principles is generalized, which improves the adaptability of differential diagnosis test.
