Tight Bounds on the Coeffcients of Consecutive $k$-out-of-$n$:$F$ Systems

Vlad-Florin Drăgoi, Simon R. Cowell, Valeriu Beiu

In this paper we compute the coefficients of the reliability polynomial of a consecutive-$k$-out-of-$n$:$F$ system, in Bernstein basis, using the generalized Pascal coefficients. B…
