Summary: We consider the realisation of Boolean functions by circuits with unreliable functional elements over an arbitrary complete finite basis \(B\). It is assumed that all elements of the circuit are subject to single-type constant faults at the outputs which are independent of each other and occur with probability \(\gamma\), \(\gamma\in (0,1/2)\).
It is proved that all Boolean functions over the basis \(B\) can be realised by circuits with unreliability no greater than \(3\gamma + 27\gamma^2\) for all \(\gamma\in (0,1/960)\).
