Optimal preventive repair policy for a semi-Markov deterioration shock model
(1987)
Most maintenance models for stochastically deteriorating systems consider to replace or not to replace as the only two actions that can be taken at any deterioration stage. In this research a preventive repair model that ...
Analysis of Markov renewal processes with some non-regeneration points and their applications to reliability theory
(1980)
Markov renewal theory, a branch of probability theory, is based on the properties of regeneration points. Roughly speaking, a regeneration point is a random time in a process at which the future development of the process ...
Modelling of insect populations under stochastic environments
(1980)
This dissertation introduces two advancements in the treatment of random components within insect pest population models. Part one of the dissertation develops a model for predicting the mean and variance of a population ...
Optimal replacement policy for a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process model
(1986)
The control of deterioration processes for which only incomplete state information is available is examined in this study. When the deterioration is governed by a Markov process, such processes are known as Partially ...
