DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF A REWARD PROCESS DEFINED ON A CYCLIC RENEWAL PROCESS WITH APPLICATIONS TO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS

Dynamic Analysis of a Reward Process Defined on a Cyclic Renewal Process with Applications to Preventive Maintenance Problems

A cyclic renewal process is considered as an extension of an alternating renewal process, where each of the underlying independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) nonnegative random increments is composed of multiple stages. Such a process may be appropriate for analyzing optimal preventive maintenance policies for production management, where a pair of two stages representing an uptime ...

Dynamic Analysis of a Reward Process Defined on a Cyclic Renewal Process with Application to Maintenance Problems

The purpose of this thesis is to introduce a cyclic renewal process as an extension of an alternating renewal process, where each of underlying i.i.d. nonnegative random increments is composed of multiple stages, i.e. Yn = ∑J j=1 Xj , n 1, where Yn denotes the lifetime of the n-th cycle and Yn’s are i.i.d. with respect to n. Such a process may be appropriate for analyzing optimal preventive mai...

A Bivariate Renewal Process and Its Applications in Maintenance Policies

Analysis of Markov Renewal Reward Process on VLSI Cell Partitioning

It is well known that various characteristics in risk and queuing process can be formulated as Markov Renewal function. We study the max-position of finitely many Markov Renewal Reward process with countable state space. We define Markov Renewal equation associated with max-posed process. The solutions of the Markov Renewal Reward equation are derived and the asymptotic behaviors of the equatio...
