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.

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.

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 obtain several mixture representations of the reliability function of the inactivity time of a coherent system under the condition that the system has failed at time t (> 0) in terms of the reliability functions of inactivity times of order statistics. Some ordering properties of the inactivity times of coherent systems with independent and identically distributed components are obtained, based on the stochastically ordered coefficient vectors between systems.
