Abstract

A method of obtaining a minimized system reliability or unreliability expression using Demorgan's theorem is presented. Some formulae based on this theorem are provided, from which the minimized expression of system unreliability can be obtained by knowledge of pathsets. At the same time, this expression can also provide minimum cutsets of the system easily. On the other hand, one can obtain the minimum pathsets of a system without much difficulty, if the minimum cutsets are known.
