This article provides an overview of several logic redundancy schemes, including von Neumann's multiplexing logic, N-tuple modular redundancy, and interwoven redundant logic. The authors use Markov chain models and bifurcation analysis to compare the degree of redundancy and system reliability in these classical fault-tolerant approaches.
