Ternary Networks 
Reliability and Monte Carlo

Ternary means “based on three”. This book deals with reliability investigations of networks whose components subject to failures can be in three states –up, down and middle (mid), contrary to traditionally considered networks having only binary (up/down) components. Extending binary case to ternary allows to consider more realistic and flexible models for communication, flow and supply networks
