Reliabilities of Some Multistate Consecutive-k Systems

In this paper, we consider four different kinds of multistate consecutive-k systems, namely a multistate linear m-consecutive-k-out-of-n: G system, a multistate linear consecutive-k-out-of-n: G system with sparse d, a multistate linear m-consecutive-k-out-of-n: G system with sparse d, and a multistate linear : G system. The reliability formulas for these systems are derived by using th...
