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.

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.

Analysis of Reliability Block Diagrams by Boolean Techniques
TL;DR: The technique is based on analysing and modifying the Boolean expression prior to the conversion process, originally developed as an aid to fault-tree analysis but it applies to general problems of reliability assessment.

A Greedy Branch-and-Bound Inclusion-Exclusion Algorithm for Calculating the Exact Multi-State Network Reliability
TL;DR: A Branch-and-Bound (B&B)-based technique is proposed to implement the IE to reduce the number of intersections, and decrease thenumber of multiplications required for calculating the probability value of each term.

Algorithms for Generating Minimal Cutsets by Inversion
D. R. Shier,D. E. Whited +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of inverting minimal paths to obtain minimal cutsets for s-coherent systems is studied and simplified inversion by a sequential method, and strategies for implementing these simplifications efficiently are discussed.

Symbolic Reliability Analysis with the Aid of Variable-Entered Karnaugh Maps
TL;DR: The VEKM method is illustrated by applying it to some examples recently solved in the literature and the main advantage is the pictorial insight it provides to the reliability analyst.

Arithmetic spectrum applied to fault detection for combinational networks
TL;DR: A method for the derivation of fault signatures for the detection of faults in single-output combinational networks is described, which uses the arithmetic spectrum instead of the Rademacher-Walsh spectrum as a form of data compression to reduce the volume of response data at test time.
