Summary :

The reliability analysis of multi-state systems is needed for treating multi-modal failures, failure interdependency and degraded states. This paper defines some types of multi-state monotone systems from the positive relation between two states of components and presents their properties with emphasis on properties of Boolean structure functions with restricted 0-1 variables. Positive-directionally (or negative-directionally) monotone system is defined as the concept of monotone system wider than the former one, and its deterministic and probabilistic properties useful for the reliability analysis are given. Extended definitions of series, parallel and series-parallel systems are also given.
