A system is a set of elements that can be found in one of the following states: operating state and fault. Any system has two stable states: functioning and defect, which is why, in the theory of reliability, it is called a bivalent system. A subset of defective elements is called the system cut if all the other elements of the system are in operation and the system is defective. The width of a bivalent system is equal to the minimum number of elements the system cuts have. In this paper is presented an algorithm for automatic determination of the dual system width to a bivalent system, a Matlab script that implements the algorithm, a case study and subsequent directions of development.
