Graph theory (GT) has become an indispensable tool for exploring environmental
interconnections and elucidating ecological relationships. The integration of GT with …

A multi-state k-out-of-n: G system is a multi-state system whose multi-valued success is
greater than or equal to a certain value j (lying between 1 (the lowest non-zero output level) …

A notable reliability model is the binary threshold system (also called the weighted-k-out-of-n
system), which is a dichotomous system that is successful if and only if the weighted sum of …

This paper employs multi-valued logic in the reliability analysis of a multi-state system. The
paper expresses each instance of the multi-valued output of the system as an explicit …

This paper is devoted to the Boolean-based analysis of non-repairable coherent multi-state
systems with independent non-identical multi-state components. We adapt several binary …

Multi-State systems are systems whose outputs are multi-valued (due to multiple levels of
capacity or performance) and (possibly) whose inputs are also multi-valued (due to multiple …

In order to assess the performance indexes of some practical systems having fixed channel
capacities, such as telecommunication networks, power transmission systems or commodity …

This chapter deals with the paradigm of handling system reliability analysis in the Boolean
domain as a supplement to (rather than a replacement to) analysis in the probability domain …

This paper deals with an emergent variant of the classical problem of computing the
probability of the union of n events, or equivalently the expectation of the disjunction (ORing) …

The trend for use of rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) is rising due to their promising economic
potential as a source of clean renewable energy. In general, a source of renewable solar …
