الوصف: Given a connected graph $G$ whose vertices are perfectly reliable and whose edges each fail independently with probability $q\in[0,1],$ the \textit{(all-terminal) reliability} of $G$ is the probability that the resulting subgraph of operational edges contains a spanning tree (this probability is always a polynomial in $q$). The location of the roots of reliability polynomials has been well studied, with particular interest in finding those with the largest moduli. In this paper, we will discuss a related problem -- among all reliability polynomials of graphs on $n$ vertices, which has a root of smallest modulus? We prove that, provided $n \geq 3$, the roots of smallest moduli occur precisely for the cycle graph $C_n$, and the root is unique.
