Improving Fail-Safe Characteristics of Multivalued-Output Systems through the use of Redundancy

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 235))

Abstract

Some analytical discussions are presented for improving the reliability of multivalued-output systems by using redundant systems. Several types of redundancy are defined and some analytical comparisons among them are made. The paper suggests a type of redundancy effective for decreasing the probability of dangerous errors. The results for two-valued-output systems will be extended to multivalued-output systems.
