Polarization and depolarization of monomial ideals with application to multistate system reliability

Commutative Algebra 2020-03-12 v2

Abstract

We study the family of depolarizations of a squarefree monomial ideal II, i.e. all monomial ideals whose polarization is II. We describe a method to find all depolarizations of II and study some of the properties they share and some they do not share. We then apply polarization and depolarization tools to study the reliability of multi-state coherent systems via binary systems and vice versa.
