Abstract
Chapter 3 demonstrated the use of the Bernoulli state variable (BSV) technique in the assessment of systems with complex interconnections. This chapter illustrates the use of BSV in the reliability assessment of more complex systems consisting of multiple k-out-of-n:G blocks with both perfect and imperfect fault coverage. Here, the redundant inputs to a k-out-of-n:G selector can be represented by complex polynomials as opposed to just a set of disjoint literals.
