Abstract

The comparison of lifetimes has been treated extensively during the last decade. A wide variety of mathematical objects have been defined, which, in reliability theory, are used to quantify ageing properties. In this work, using the equilibrium variable, we give a new viewpoint on ageing properties. Moreover, we give new bounds on the moments of series systems.
