While the most effective applications of the UGF method lie in the field of the MSS reliability, it can also be used for evaluating the reliability of binary systems. The theory of binary systems is well developed. Many algorithms exist for evaluating the reliability of different types of binary system. However, no universal systematic approach has been suggested for the wide range of system ty...

In this paper, we construct explicitly a noncommutative symmetric (NCS) system over the Grossman-Larson Hopf algebra of labeled rooted trees. By the universal property of the NCS system formed by the generating functions of certain noncommutative symmetric functions, we obtain a specialization of noncommutative symmetric functions by labeled rooted trees. Taking the graded duals, we also get a ...
