Asymptotic reliability of consecutive k-out-of-n systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
By studying the minimum of moving maxima, that is the maxima taken over a sliding window of length k in an i.i.d. sequence, we obtain new results on the reliability of consecutive k-out-of-n systems. In particular, we give the reliability asymptotically with both k and n varying. The underlying method of our approach is to analyze the singularities of a generating function.
