Abstract :	[en] In this short note we give and discuss a general multilinear expression of the structure function of an arbitrary semicoherent system in terms of its minimal path and cut sets. We also examine the link between the number of minimal path and cut sets consisting of one or two components and the concept of structure signature of the system.
