Min(max-PSD) and max(min- PSD) distributions as alifetime distributions in network’s reliability

Abstract

In our paper we describe the corresponding dynamic mathematical models to perform a comparative analysis of the reliability of two types of networks: serial-parallel and parallel-serial when the number of sub-networks is constant and the number of units in each sub-network are Power Series Distributed (PSD) random variables (r.v.), but also when the lifetimes are independent, identically distributed r.v.
