TLDR
The paper treats the problem of survival reliability which is the probability of successful migration of a specific species from a critical habitat patch to destination habitat patches via heterogeneous imperfect corridors and contributes methods for computing a new measure of reliability that arises when paths to destination habitats patches share common corridors.About:

Switching-Algebraic Analysis of System Reliability
TL;DR: This chapter deals with the paradigm of handling system reliabilityAnalysis in the Boolean domain as a supplement to (rather than a replacement to) analysis in the probability domain, and explains some important properties of the concept of Boolean quotient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weighted Voting Systems: A Threshold- Boolean Perspective
TL;DR: The paper demonstrates that the prime implicants of the system threshold function are its Minimal Winning Coalitions (MWC), and stresses the utility of threshold Boolean functions in the understanding, study, analysis, and design of weighted voting systems irrespective of size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability Analysis of a Commodity-Supply Multi-State System Using the Map Method
TL;DR: The analysis of a commodity-supply system that serves as a standard gold example of a non-repairable multi-state k-out-of-n: G system with independent non-identical components yields a Multi-Valued Karnaugh Map (MVKM), which serves as an explicit function of the multi-valued inputs of the system.

Exposition and Comparison of Two Kinds of a Posteriori Analysis of Fault Trees@@@استعراض ومقارنة نوعين من التحليل اللاحق لأشجار الأخطاء
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that in many cases this analysis is still possible via elementary faulttree manipulations that use the concept of a Boolean quotient to effectively implement Bayes’ Theorem in the Boolean domain.

Conventional and Improved Inclusion-Exclusion Derivations of Symbolic Expressions for the Reliability of a Multi-State Network
TL;DR: A simple method for handling the classical problem of computing the probability of the union of n events, or equivalently the expectation of the disjunction (ORing) of n indicator variables for these events, and a novel method for combining the MS-PRE and MS-IE concepts together are discussed.

Reliable Broadcasting in Product Networks
TL;DR: This paper designs an efficient and reliable broadcasting scheme based on independent spanning trees for a product network from simple broadcasting schemes for component networks and shows how to construct n-independent spanning trees of aproduct network from spanning Trees of n-component graphs.

An efficient algorithm for simultaneously deducing minimal paths as well as cuts of a communication network
TL;DR: The present paper provides a conceptually simple and computationally efficient algorithm to obtain simultaneously the paths between any single pair of terminals, paths for multiterminal pairs and the cuts for the specified terminal pair of interest of any complex network.

Determination of All Minimal Cut-Sets between a Vertex Pair in an Undirected Graph
TL;DR: An efficient enumeration algorithm generates all minimal cut-sets separating a special vertex pair in an undirected graph based on a blocking mechanism that guarantees that every minimalcut-set between the two specified vertices is generated exactly once.
Journal IssueDOI
A survey of some network reliability analysis and synthesis results
TL;DR: The notion of signed reliability domination of systems is described and some applications to reliability analysis are reviewed and some relevant concepts in the synthesis of a most reliable network are studied.

Reliable broadcasting in product networks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the reliability of broadcasting in product networks containing faulty nodes and/or links, and proposed the concept of an n-channel graph which has n-independent spanning trees rooted at each node.
