%0 Journal Article %T On the reliability of a renewable multiple cold standby system %A Vanderperre E. J. %J Mathematical Problems in Engineering %D 2005 %I Hindawi Publishing Corporation %X We present a general reliability analysis of a renewable multiple cold standby system attended by a single repairman. Our analysis is based on a refined methodology of queuing theory. The particular case of deterministic failures provides an explicit exact result for the survival function of the duplex system. %U http://www.hindawi.net/access/get.aspx?journal=mpe&volume=2005&pii=S1024123X04407029
