Two-sided nonuniform reliability estimates in the model of cold redundancy with restoration

This is a short but dense mathematical article devoted to improving an estimate of a reliability problem. The model deals with a renewal system with cold reserving. The author analyzes two pairs of inequalities that characterize the reliability of the system: \[ \exp(-\lambda qt)\Leftarrow P\{\theta> t\}\Leftarrow \exp(-\lambda qt)+ \lambda qt \lambda T_ 0+ \lambda T_ 2,\tag{1} \] \[ \exp(-\lambda qt)\Leftarrow P\{\theta>t\}\Leftarrow (1-\Delta_ -)\exp(-\lambda qt(1+ \Delta_ +)),\tag{2} \] where \(\theta\) is the time to first failure, \(T_ 0\) is the mean time of service interval (the interval for at least one element fails), \(\lambda\) is the failure intensity of elements, \(q\) is the probability that the system fails on the service interval, \(T_ 2\), \(\Delta_ -\) and \(\Delta_ +\) being quantities that are evaluated in the article. The first pair of inequalities is especially useful when \(\lambda qt\ll 1\) the second one for greater values of \(\lambda qt\). More explicitly the article is devoted to the asymptotic evaluation of the three parameters: \(T_ 2\), \(\Delta_ -\) and \(\Delta_ +\). Each of the parameter is upper and lower bounded by expressions derived from series developing of certain auxiliary functions. One supplementary condition is \(q< b_ 0(0)\), where \(b_ k(0)\) represents the probability that during service for a unit, other \(k\) units fail.
