Abstract :
Four relations are defined the use of which allow a reliability network to be expressed as a mathematical statement. Series and active and standby redundancy connections are allowed. The possibility of requiring more than one of the active branches to be operative is included. At the very least the result allows for typing in place of drawing a network description.
