Contents:
1. Discrete state space Markov processes -- 2. Semi-Markov process -- 3. Characteristics and parameters of SMP -- 4. Perturbed semi-Markov processes -- 5. Stochastic processes associated with the SM process -- 6. SM models of renewable cold standby system -- 7. SM models of multistage operation -- 8. SM model of working intensity process -- 9. Multitask operation process -- 10. Semi-Markov failure rate process -- 11 Simple model of maintenance -- 12. Semi-Markov model of system component damage -- 13. Multistate systems with SM components -- 14. Semi-Markov maintenance nets -- 15. Semi-Markov decision processes -- Summary -- Bibliography -- Notation.
Summary: This book provides a modern view of discrete state space and continuous time semi-Markov processes and their applications in reliability and maintenance. It explains how to construct semi-Markov models and discusses the different reliability parameters and characteristics that can be obtained from those models. Topics include: properties and theorems from discrete state Semi-Markov Process (SMP) theory; method behind constructing Semi-Markov (SM) models and SM decision models in the field of reliability and maintenance; numerous individual versions of SM models, including the most recent and their impact on system reliability and maintenance.
