The notion of the signature is a basic concept and a powerful tool in the analysis of networks and reliability systems of binary type. An appropriate definition of this concept has recently been introduced for systems that have v possible states (with v >= 3). In this paper we analyze in detail several properties and the most relevant aspects of such a general definition. For simplicity's sake, we focus our attention on the case v = 3. Our analysis will however provide a number of hints for understanding the basic aspects of the general case.

Abstract
The notion of the signature is a basic concept and a powerful tool in the analysis of networks and reliability systems of binary type. An appropriate definition of this concept has recently been introduced for systems that have v possible states (with v >= 3). In this paper we analyze in detail several properties and the most relevant aspects of such a general definition. For simplicity's sake, we focus our attention on the case v = 3. Our analysis will however provide a number of hints for understanding the basic aspects of the general case.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
