Jl. Bon et J. Bretagnolle, APPROXIMATION OF FAILURE PROBABILITY FOR LARGE SYSTEMS WITH NON-MARKOVIAN REPAIR-TIMES, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 1, Mathematique, 326(6), 1998, pp. 743-748
Reliability of large system can be evaluated fron the probability q of
failure before restoration. In [8], the authors give an asymptotic ap
proximation with monotone sequences for a k/n system. We propose, here
, a bounding for q in a more general case, and apply in ageing propert
y case. (C) Academie des Sciences/Elsevier, Paris.
