Algebraic Analysis of Variants of Multi-State <i>k</i>-out-of-<i>n</i> Systems

We apply the algebraic reliability method to the analysis of several variants of multi-state <i>k</i>-out-of-<i>n</i> systems. We describe and use the reliability ideals of multi-state consecutive <i>k</i>-out-of-<i>n</i> systems with and without spars...
