Here we shall assume that the system can be modeled as a structure function given by a mapping from the n-dimensional unit hypercube into a k-dimensional unit hypercube, in such a way that the performance of the system is described according to k single continuum-valued criteria. Some basic concepts relative to these continuum multivalued systems are discussed and general reliability bounds are obtained based upon the minimal paths and minimal cuts of the k associated single-valued continuum systems.engjournal articlehttps//doi.org/10.1016/0377-2217(93)90090-Ahttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/037722179390090Arestricted access519.8Continuum systemsPerfect functioningComplete failureReliability boundsMinimal pathsMinimal cutsInvestigación operativa (Matemáticas)1207 Investigación Operativa
