The paper is motivated by the stochastic comparison of the reliability of non-repairable -out-of- systems. The lifetime of such a system with nonidentical components is compared with the lifetime of a system with identical components. Formally the problem is as follows. Let be positive independent random variables with common distribution . For and , let consider and . Remark that this is no more than a change of scale for each term. For let us define to be the th order statistics...
The paper is motivated by the stochastic comparison of the reliability of non-repairable k-out-of-n systems. The lifetime of such a system with nonidentical components is compared with the lifetime of a system with identical components. Formally the problem is as follows. Let Ui,i = 1,...,n, be positive independent random variables with common distribution F. For λi > 0 and µ > 0, let consider Xi = Ui/λi and Yi = Ui/µ, i = 1,...,n. Remark that this is no more than a change of scale for each...
For a given partial solution, the partial inverse problem is to modify the coefficients such that there is a full solution containing the partial solution, while the full solution becomes optimal under new coefficients, and the total modification is minimum. In this paper, we show that the partial inverse assignment problem and the partial inverse minimum cut problem are NP-hard if there are bound constraints on the changes of coefficients.

Single server queues with repeated attempts are useful in the modeling of computer and telecommunication systems. In addition, we consider in this paper the possibility of disasters. When a disaster occurs, all the customers present in the system are destroyed immediately. Using a regenerative approach, we derive a numerically stable recursion scheme for the state probabilities. This model can be employed to analyze the behaviour of a buffer in computers with virus infections.
We consider a system consisting of two not necessarily identical exponential servers having a common Poisson arrival process. Upon arrival, customers inspect the first queue and join it if it is shorter than some threshold n. Otherwise, they join the second queue. This model was dealt with, among others, by Altman et al. [Stochastic Models20 (2004) 149–172]. We first derive an explicit expression for the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the distribution underlying the arrival (renewal) process to...

A vector is said to be an eigenvector of a square max-min matrix if . An eigenvector of is called the greatest -eigenvector of if and for each eigenvector . A max-min matrix is called strongly -robust if the orbit reaches the greatest -eigenvector with any starting vector of . We suggest an algorithm for computing the greatest -eigenvector of and study the strong -robustness. The necessary and sufficient conditions for strong -robustness are introduced and an efficient...
