## Abstract In this paper we present a definition of multivariate increasing failure rate based on the concept of multivariate dispersion. This new definition is an extension of the univariate characterization of increasing failure rate distributions under dispersive ordering of the residual lives.
Given a set of points in Euclidean space, we say that two linear functionals differ on that set if they give rise to different linear orderings of the points. We investigate what the largest and smallest number of different linear functionals can be as a function of the number of points and the dime
