Bounds on the Lifetime Expectations of Series Systems with IFR Component Lifetimes
We consider series systems built of components which have independent identically distributed (iid) lifetimes with an increasing failure rate (IFR). We determine sharp upper bounds for the expectations of the system lifetimes expressed in terms of the mean, and various scale units based on absolute...
