A Stochastic Approach to a Combined Parallel System

H. Ünözkan, M. Yılmaz

Abstract



This paper is aimed to introduce a parallel system consisting of random number of components according to a bivariate geometric distribution. The structure of this system is that it initially includes two components combined with parallel and then there are random component additions to these two core components in every discrete time. This situation gives a specific system structure and the stochastic process of this system structure is examined.

Keywords


Bivariate geometric distribution; exponentially distributed components; reliability analyses; stochastic process; Markov chain.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
