A sample of i.i.d. continuous time Markov chains being defined, the sum over each component of a real function of the state is considered. For this functional, a central limit theorem for the first hitting time of a prescribed level is proved. The result extends the classical central limit theorem for order statistics. Various reliability models are presented as examples of applications.

A two-unit cold-standby redundant system with one repair facility is considered. Each unit can be in three states: good (I), degraded (II), and failed (III). We suppose that only the following state-transitions af a unit are possible: . The paper is devoted to the problems which arise only provided that the units of the redundant system can be in more than two states (i.e. in operating and failed states). The following characteristics dealing with a single operating period of the system are studied...
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60K10, 62P05.The compound Poisson risk models are widely used in practice. In this paper the counting process in the insurance risk model is a compound Poisson process. The model is called Compound Compound Poisson Risk Model. Some basic properties and ruin probability are given. We analyze the model under the proportional reinsurance. The optimal retention level and the corresponding adjustment coefficient are obtained. The particular case of the Pólya-Aeppli...
