Ternary Networks [electronic resource] : Reliability and Monte Carlo /

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 networks.
Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The 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.
