✦ Synopsis

The supermodular and the symmetric supermodular stochastic orders have been cursorily studied in previous literature. In this paper we study these orders more thoroughly. First we obtain some basic properties of these orders. We then apply these results in order to obtain comparisons of random vectors with common values, but with different levels of multiplicity. Specifically, we show that if the vectors of the levels of multiplicity are ordered in the majorization order, then the associated random vectors are ordered in the symmetric supermodular stochastic order. In the non-symmetric case we obtain bounds (in the supermodular stochastic order sense) on such random vectors. Finally, we apply the results to problems of optimal assembly of reliability systems, of optimal allocation of minimal repair efforts, and of optimal allocation of reliability items.

Let (X i , Y i ) i=1, 2, ..., n be n independent and identically distributed random variables from some continuous bivariate distribution. If X (r) denotes the r th ordered X-variate then the Y-variate, Y [r] , paired with X (r) is called the concomitant of the r th order statistic. In this paper we

For a sample of iid observations {(X i , Y i )} from an absolutely continuous distribution, the multivariate dependence of concomitants and the stochastic order of subsets of Y [ ] are studied. If (X, Y) is totally positive dependent of order 2, Y [ ] is multivariate totally positive dependent of o

## Abstract This paper discusses a randomized logistic equation equation image with initial value __x__(0)=__x__~0~>0, where __B__(__t__) is a standard one‐dimension Brownian motion, and θ∈(0, 0.5). We show that the positive solution of the stochastic differential equation does not explode at any
