Multistability of a class of biological systems

2013 9th Asian Control Conference (ASCC), 2013
Multistability of biological systems with complex nonlinear regulatory schemes is an important research topic in system biology. In many models of biological systems, the regulatory functions are of saturation type. The linear sectors, in which the saturation type functions reside, have been extensively adopted to deal with these saturation type ...

Modules in Coherent Multistate Systems

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1983
Modules in s-coherent multistate systems are presented as an extension of the binary concept of Birnbaum and Esary. A consequence of this extension is that any subset of the system components can be considered a module. Thus a measure of desirability or usefulness is important. One such measure is suggested along with modular decompositions.

Bounding the Reliability of Multistate Systems

Operations Research, 1982
Determining the exact reliability of a complex system can involve extremely large amounts of computation. This paper develops a number of upper and lower bounds for the reliability of multistate systems, that is, systems for which each component may exist in one of a finite number of states.

Rogue Waves in a Multistable System

Physical Review Letters, 2011
Clear evidence of rogue waves in a multistable system is revealed by experiments with an erbium-doped fiber laser driven by harmonic pump modulation. The mechanism for the rogue wave formation lies in the interplay of stochastic processes with multistable deterministic dynamics.

Reliability Analysis for Multistate Systems with Multistate Components

IIE Transactions, 1983
Abstract An important problem in reliability theory is to determine the reliability of a complex system given the reliabilities of its components. In real life, the system and its components can be found in a range of states varying from perfect functioning through various levels of performance degradation to complete failure.

COMPLEX DYNAMICS IN MULTISTABLE SYSTEMS

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2008
The coexistence of several stable states for a given set of parameters has been observed in many natural and experimental systems as well as in theoretical models. This paper gives an overview over the wide range of applications in different disciplines of science.

Reliability theory for multistate systems with multistate components

Microelectronics Reliability, 1982
Abstract An important problem in reliability theory is to determine the reliability of a complex system given the reliabilities of its components. In real life the system and its components are capable of being in a whole range of states, varying from a perfect functioning state to states related to various levels of performance degradation to ...

The Church and the Multistate System

2022
AbstractThis chapter shifts attention to the multistate system. It argues that the European multistate system was set in train when the fusion of lay and religious authority came to an end in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The chapter first shows how around ad 1000 everything favoured the opposite: hegemony or empire.

Adaptation in the Multistable System

1960
Continuing our study of types of environment we next consider, after Figures 15/7/1 and 15/8/1, the case in which the subsystems of the environment are connected unrestrictedly in direction, so that feedbacks occur between them. This type of environment may vary according to the amounts of communication (variety) that are transmitted between subsystem ...

Multistate coherent systems

Journal of Applied Probability, 1978
The vast majority of reliability analyses assume that components and system are in either of two states: functioning or failed. The present paper develops basic theory for the study of systems of components in which any of a finite number of states may occur, representing at one extreme perfect functioning and at the other extreme complete failure.
