RT Journal Article T1 General Structure Functions A1 Montero De Juan, Francisco Javier A1 Tejada Cazorla, Juan Antonio A1 Yáñez Gestoso, Francisco Javier AB A general concept of a structure function is proposed by considering a general order topology, where possible degrees of performance for the system and its components are going to be represented. Finite multistate structure functions and continuum structures can therefore be viewed as particular cases. Gives general definitions of minimal path and minimal cut, allowing general reliability bounds based on them. These are applied to some multivalued structures.
