Allocation Strategies

AbstractIn this paper we study the allocation problem of relevations in coherent systems. The optimal allocation strategies are obtained by implementing stochastic comparisons of different policies according to the usual stochastic order and the hazard rate order. As special cases of relevations, the load-sharing and minimal repair policies are further investigated. Sufficient (and necessary) conditions are established for various stochastic orderings. Numerical examples are also presented as illustrations.

This paper is concerned with the problem of stochastic comparisons between the lifetimes of two coherent systems with active redundancy. For this purpose, we consider both the active redundancy at the system level and the redundancy at the component level. We assume that the original components are identically distributed and possibly dependent. It is also assumed that for each component, there are [Formula: see text] redundant components with possibly different lifetime distributions which follow the proportional hazards (reversed hazards) model. Under some conditions on the domination function of the system, we compare the lifetimes of the systems based on majorization orders between the parameter vectors of the proportionality of the component lifetimes. We also give sufficient conditions under which adding more redundant components imply the system improvement.

In this paper we derive mixture representations for the reliability functions of the conditional residual life and inactivity time of a coherent system with n independent and identically distributed components. Based on these mixture representations we carry out stochastic comparisons on the conditional residual life, and the inactivity time of two coherent systems with independent and identical components.

Under the assumption of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) components, the problem of the stochastic comparison of a coherent system having used components and a used coherent system has been considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions on structure functions have been provided for the stochastic comparison of a coherent system having used/inactive i.i.d. components and a used/inactive coherent system. As a consequence, for r-out-of-n systems, it has been shown that systems having used i.i.d. components stochastically dominate used systems in the likelihood ratio ordering.

Sequential order statistics can be used to describe the ordered lifetimes of components in a system, where the failure of a component may affect the performance of remaining components. In this paper mixture representations of the residual lifetime and the inactivity time of systems with such failure-dependent components are considered. Stochastic comparisons of differently structured systems are obtained and properties of the weights in the mixture representations are examined. Furthermore, corresponding representations of the residual lifetime and the inactivity time of a system given the additional information about a previous failure time are derived.

Necessary and sufficient conditions on structure functions have been provided for the stochastic comparison of a coherent system having used/inactive i.i.d. components and a used/inactive coherent system. As a consequence, forr-out-of-nsystems, it has been shown that systems having used i.i.d. components stochastically dominate used systems in the likelihood ratio ordering.

Residual Lifetimes

This paper discusses stochastic comparisons for the residual and past lifetimes of coherent systems with dependent and identically distributed (d.i.d.) components under random monitoring in terms of the hazard rate, the reversed hazard rate, and the likelihood ratio orders. Some stochastic comparisons results are also established on the residual lifetimes of coherent systems under random observation times when all of the components are alive at that time. Sufficient conditions are established in terms of the aging properties of the components and the distortion functions induced from the system structure and dependence among components lifetimes. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results as well.
