Automatically determines the length of the dual system to a bivalent system
Paul Vasiliu · Scientific Bulletin of Naval Academy · 2018
From the point of view of reliability theory, a system can have two stable states: functioning and defect (bivalent system). Any system is a set of elements. Each element in this set can be found in one of the following states: operating state and fault condition. A subset of elements in the running state is called a system link if they only ensure the system works. The length of a bivalent system is equal to the minimum number of elements that the system holds. In this paper we present an algorithm for automatic determination of dual system length to a bivalent system, a Matlab script, a case study and subsequent development directions.
