Safety of multistate series-„k out of n” systems

The paper is concerned with mathematical methods in asymptotic approach to systems safety and reliability analysis. In the safety investigation of large-scale systems, the problem of the complexity of their safety functions arises. This problem may be approximately solved by assuming that the number of system components tends to infinity and finding the limit safety function of the system. The article is based on the results of the author’s solutions for series-“m out of kn” given in [4] – [6].
