Analysis of reliability bounds for series, parallel and k-out-of-n system configuration
Abstract This paper deals with the least upper bounds (LUB) and greatest lower bounds (GLB) for the reliability of the series, parallel and k -out-of- n system configurations. It is assumed that the life-time distribution of each component is negative exponential. In each case the behaviour of LUB and GLB is studied as the number of components in the system varies.
