Ternary Networks Reliability and Monte Carlo [Paperback]

Ternary means based on three. This book deals with reliability investigations of?networks whose components subject to failures can be in three states up, down and middle (mid), contrary to traditionally considered networks?having only binary (up/down) components. Extending binary case to ternary allows to consider more realistic and flexible models for communication, flow and supply networksThe principal Model ternary spectrum.- Importance? spectrum.- Example of Network:? weak and strong connectivity.- Components ranking by their importance; example.-Extension of?? basic model to many-state system.- Example? of Network flow network.- Network with unreliable ternary nodes.- Evolution method: extension to ternary system.- Series and parallel? connection of ternary networks.- Large Networks with colored nodes; supply networks.- Network interaction: binary networks.- Network interaction:? ternary networks.Ternary means based on three.

Presents reliability investigations of networks whose components subject to failures can be in three states

This small book presents innovative results for ternary networks used in advanced reliability modeling. ... The theoretical developments and the potential application areas of this work make this book uniquely attractive to reliability and network science experts interested in small to medium size networks.
