A Decomposition for Multistate Monotone Systems.
Abstract
A decomposition theorem for multistate structure functions is proven. This result is applied to obtain bounds for the system performance function. Another application is made to interpret the multistate structures of Barlow and Wu. Various concepts of multistate importance and coherence are also discussed. (Author)
