Applications of the Sojourn - Time Problem to Reliability
The sojourn-time problem of Takáes can be applied to reliability theory. This note reviews Takács' results and applies them to redundant systems, cumulative damage, and a system under non-homogeneous operating conditions.
A Note on Availability for a Finite Interval
A definition of availability having a probabilistic guarantee for a finite interval is made. Examples and asymptotic solution are presented.
The Status of Developments in the Theory of Stochastic Duels - II
This paper contains a brief outline of the history and the principal features of the Theory of Stochastic Duels, as well as the major analytical results to date. Areas for future research and possible fields of application are also considered. The connection with other models of combat, such as Lanchester's equations and games of strategy, is discussed. An annotated bibliography is included.
