Abstract

The multi-stated weighted k-out-of-n (majority) systems are widely applied in various scenarios such as industrial or military applications where the ability of fault-tolerance is desirable. In this paper, a stochastic multiple-valued approach (SMVA) is proposed in order to evaluate the system efficiently. The weights and reliabilities of multi-state components are represented by stochastic sequences which are composed of fixed number of multi-valued numbers with the position being randomly permutated. The reliability analysis of multi-stated majority system indicates that the proposed SMVA is more efficient than the analysis through adopting universal generating functions or fuzzy universal generating functions.
