چکیده

In this paper, stochastic comparisons for k -out-ofN ( F ) system with random numbers of identical components are studied. The lifetime of k -out-ofN ( F ) system corresponds to the kth order statistic of random numbers of independent identically distributed random variables. Characterizations based on some stochastic orders, for example, star order, hazard rate order and reversed hazard order system are studied. Stochastic order has been widely applied in computer queuing networks, communications systems, automated production line system, inventory systems.

Availability of k-out-of-n: F Secondary Subsystem with General Repair Time Distribution

In this paper we study the steady state availability of main k-out-of-n: F and secondary subsystems having general repair time distribution. When more than k units of main subsystem fail, then the main subsystem shuts off the secondary subsystem. The life time distributions of the main units and that of secondary subsystem are exponentially distributed. A repair facility having single repairman...

Dispersive Ordering and k-out-of-n Systems

Extended Abstract. The simplest and the most common way of comparing two random variables is through their means and variances. It may happen that in some cases the median of X is larger than that of Y, while the mean of X is smaller than the mean of Y. However, this confusion will not arise if the random variables are stochastically ordered. Similarly, the same may happen if one would like to ...

Number of Minimal Path Sets in a Consecutive-k-out-of-n: F System

In this paper the combinatorial problem of determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system is considered. For the cases where k = 2, 3 the explicit formulae are given and for k ≥ 4 a recursive relation is obtained. Direct computation for determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system for k ≥ 4 remains a difficult task. ...

THE ALMOST SURE CONVERGENCE OF WEIGHTED SUMS OF NEGATIVELY DEPENDENT RANDOM VARIABLES

In this paper we study the almost universal convergence of weighted sums for sequence {x ,n } of negatively dependent (ND) uniformly bounded random variables, where a, k21 is an may of nonnegative real numbers such that 0(k ) for every ?> 0 and E|x | F | =0 , F = ?(X ,…, X ) for every n>l.
