Semi-markov models : control of restorable systems with latent failures / [electronic resource] Yuriy E. Obzherin, Elena G. Boyko. Obzherin, Yuriy E., author. Boyko, Elena G., author. System analysis Mathematical models. Markov processes. QA402 003 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Online resource; title from PDF title page (ScienceDirect, viewed February 16, 2015). Featuring previously unpublished results, Semi-Markov Models: Control of Restorable Systems with Latent Failures describes valuable methodology which can be used by readers to build mathematical models of a wide class of systems for various applications. In particular, this information can be applied to build models of reliability, queuing systems, and technical control. Beginning with a brief introduction to the area, the book covers semi-Markov models for different control strategies in one-component systems, defining their stationary characteristics of reliability and efficiency, and uti. 2015 Text 1 online resource http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780128022122 eng Semi-Markov Models : Control of Restorable Systems with Latent Failures.
