On the completion time of a job processed on an unreliable machine

On the completion time of a job processed on an unreliable machine In this paper, we consider the completion time of a job processed on an unreliable machine. Assume that the lifetime and the repair time of the machine and the service time of the job have general distributions. We obtain the Laplace-Stieltjes transforms and the expectations of the distributions of the completion time, the interruption time and the actual service time. Under some special cases, we derive sufficient and necessary (or sufficient) conditions such that the completion time is larger and smaller than the service time in the sense of the Laplace transform order (or the expectation), respectively. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Mathematicae Applicatae Sinica Springer Journals

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the completion time of a job processed on an unreliable machine. Assume that the lifetime and the repair time of the machine and the service time of the job have general distributions. We obtain the Laplace-Stieltjes transforms and the expectations of the distributions of the completion time, the interruption time and the actual service time. Under some special cases, we derive sufficient and necessary (or sufficient) conditions such that the completion time is larger and smaller than the service time in the sense of the Laplace transform order (or the expectation), respectively.
