Abstract
In this paper we study the limiting behavior of the hazard rate function of a coherent system ๐ฎ whose components are independent and have discrete lifetimes. The lifetime of the system ๐ฎ can be viewed as the lifetime of a parallel system consisting of the series systems obtained from the minimal paths of ๐ฎ. If we appropriately interpret the โstrongestโ minimal path(s) of the system ๐ฎ, it will be shown that the limit of the hazard rate functions of ๐ฎ is the same as that of the โstrongestโ path(s) of ๐ฎ. The application of the main results are also provided. Copyright ยฉ 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The hazard rate function is a key tool in reliability theory and represents the instantaneous rate of failure of an item at time t given survival at time t. The hazard rate function of a system of components is closely related to the hazard rate of the components, and we see how this varies as the c
We investigate the asymptotic properties of nonlinear discrete-time control systems with fast subsystems. In particular, we use the averaging method in order to construct a limiting system for the slow subsystem. We show continuous dependence of the slow trajectories on the perturbation parameter me
