Lévy Processes and Their Applications in Reliability and Storage (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers Lévy processes and their applications in the contexts of reliability and storage. Special attention is paid to life distributions and the maintenance of devices subject to degradation; estimating the parameters of the degradation process is also discussed, as is the maintenance of dams subject to Lévy input.

Rezensionen

From the book reviews:

"This is a short book and contains three chapters only. Each chapter can be seen as a review article on a specific topic. ... it can be recommended as a quick introduction to reliability and storage analysis using Lévy processes." (Enrico Scalas, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2015)
