## Abstract As a generalization of __k__βoutβofβ__n__:F and consecutive __k__βoutβofβ__n__:F systems, the consecutive __k__βwithinβ__m__βoutβofβ__n__:F system consists of __n__ linearly ordered components such that the system fails iff there are __m__ consecutive components which include among them
Consider a 2-dimensional consecutive-k-out-of-n : F system, as described by Salvia and Lasher [9], whose components have independent, perhaps identical, failure probabilities. In this paper, we use Janson's exponential inequalities to derive improved upper bounds on such a system's reliability, and
