β¦ Synopsis
It is shown that for all increasing and concave u. This generalizes a result of Kubat. When comparing two series systems with components of equal cost, one with lifetimes {X,} and the other with lifetimes { Y,}, it is shown that a risk-averse decision-maker will prefer the HNBUE system. Similar results are obtained for parallel systems.

In this paper ten-element classes of limit reliability functions for series-parallel and parallel-series systems with identical components are presented. Next, the results are transferred to the systems with non-identical components. These systems are such that at least the number of their series or
