Abstract

top
A cold-standby redundant sytem with two identical units and one repair facility is considered. Units can be in three states: good ( I ) , degraded ( I I ) , and failed ( I I I ) . It is supposed that only the following state-transitions of a unit are possible: I I I , I I I I I , I I I , I I I I . The paper deals with the comparison of some initial situations of the system and with a stochastical improvement of units (stochastical increase of time of work in state I and/or stochastical decrease of times of repairs of the types I I I and/or I I I I ) and shows on examples that some surprising non-monotonicities can take place.
