ON THE COMPLETION TIME AND THE INTERRUPTION TIME OF A JOB PROCESSED ON AN UNRELIABLE MACHINE

摘要

This paper considers the completion time and the interruption time of a job processed on an unreliable machine. By using the general theory of stochastic orderings, we obtain the closure properties of the distribution of the completion time and the interruption time on L~+ and PH life distribution classes. We get an exponential bound for the tail probability of the interruption time.
