In this paper a two component redundant renewable system operating under the Marshall–Olkin failure model is considered. The purpose of the study is to find analytical expressions for the time dependent and the steady state characteristics of the system. The system cycle process characteristics are analyzed by the use of probability interpretation of the Laplace–Stieltjes transformations (LSTs), and of probability generating functions (PGFs). In this way the long mathematical analytic derivations are avoid. As results of the investigations, the main reliability characteristics of the system—the reliability function and the steady state probabilities—have been found in analytical form. Our approach can be used in the studies of various applications of systems with dependent failures between their elements.

The phenomena are balking can be said to have been observed when a customer who has arrived into queuing system decides not to join it. Reverse balking is a particular type of balking wherein the probability that a customer will balk goes down as the system size goes up and vice versa. Such behavior can be observed in investment firms (insurance company, Mutual Fund Company, banks etc.). As the number of customers in the firm goes up, it creates trust among potential investors. Fewer customers would like to balk as the number of customers goes up. In this paper, we develop an M/M/1/k queuing system with reverse balking. The steady-state probabilities of the model are obtained and closed forms of expression of a number of performance measures are derived.

Abstract In this paper we are concerned with the reliability properties of two coherent systems having shared components. We assume that the components of the systems are two overlapping subsets of a set of n components with lifetimes X1,...,Xn. Further, we assume that the components of the systems fail according to the model of sequential order statistics (which is equivalent, under some mild conditions, to the failure model corresponding to a nonhomogeneous pure-birth process). The joint reliability function of the system lifetimes is expressed as a mixture of the joint reliability functions of the sequential order statistics, where the mixing probabilities are the bivariate signature matrix associated to the structures of systems. We investigate some stochastic orderings and dependency properties of the system lifetimes. We also study conditions under which the joint reliability function of systems with shared components of order m can be equivalently written as the joint reliability function of systems of order n (n>m). In order to illustrate the results, we provide several examples.

The aim of this paper is to derive the analytical solution of the queue: Hk/Ma,b/C/N with balking and reneging in which (I) units arrive according to a hyper-Poisson distribution with k independent branches, (II) the queue discipline is FIFO; and (III) the units are served in batches according to a general bulk service rule. The steady-state probabilities, recurrence relations connecting various probabilities introduced are found and the expected number of units in the queue is derived in an explicit form. Also, some special cases are obtained. .

<div class="MsoTitle" style="margin: 12pt 0in 15pt;"><p>An AHP matrix of the quotients of the pair comparison priorities is transformed to a matrix of shares of the preferences which can be used in Markov stochastic modeling via the Chapman-Kolmogorov system of equations for the discrete states. It yields a general solution and the steady-state probabilities. The AHP priority vector can be interpreted as these probabilities belonging to the discrete states corresponding to the compared items. The results of stochastic modeling correspond to robust estimations of priority vectors not prone to influence of possible errors among the elements of a pairwise comparison matrix.</p></div><div class="MsoTitle" style="margin: 12pt 0in 15pt;"> </div>
