      The investigated fault models for unbounded fanin circuits and weakly-reliably or strongly-reliably computations of a function \(f\), are defined in section 2. For weakly reliable \textit{and/or} circuits a lower bound is presented for the number of input variables) on which a function may depend. In section 4 it is shown that a reliable threshold circuit can essentially be built only from gates on moderately large fanin. Finally, it is shown how threshold circuits can be made weakly reliable with only a polynomial increase of size. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00027].
