Dynamic Analysis of the Multi-state Reliability System with Priority Repair Discipline

Abstract

This paper considers a multi-state repairable system that is composed of two classes of components, one of which has a priority for repair. First, we investigate the well-posedenss of the system by applying the operator semigroup theory. Then, using Greiner’s idea and the spectral properties of the corresponding operator, we obtain that the time-dependent solution of the system converges strongly to its steady-state solution.
