A circular consecutively-connected system with multistate components (CCCSMC) consists of a set of a components e/sub i/, i/spl isin/[1,n] arranged in a circle. The e/sub i/ is followed by e/sub i+1/, i/spl isin/[1,n-1]; e/sub n/ is followed by e/sub 1/. The e/sub i/ can be in 1 of the states 0,...,k/sub i/. If e/sub i/ is in state k/spl isin/[0,k/sub i/], then its range is k (the k components following e/sub i/ are within its range). The system is functioning if and only if, for every component e/sub j/, j/spl isin/[1,n] there is an e/sub i/ such that e/sub j/ is within the range of e/sub i/. The paper gives a recursive algorithm for determining the CCCSMC reliability.

机译：具有多状态组件的圆形连续连接系统（CCCSMC）由一组以圆形排列的组件e / sub i /，i / spl isin / [1，n]组成。 e / sub i /后跟e / sub i + 1 /，i / spl isin / [1，n-1]； e / sub n /后跟e / sub 1 /。 e / sub i /可以处于状态0，...，k / sub i /中的1种。如果e / sub i /处于状态k / spl isin / [0，k / sub i /]，则其范围为k（e / sub i /之后的k个分量在其范围内）。当且仅当对于每个分量e / sub j /，j / spl isin / [1，n]有一个e / sub i /使得e / sub j /在e /的范围内时，系统才能运行子i /。本文给出了确定CCCSMC可靠性的递归算法。
