Comments, with reply, on 'Consecutive k-out-of-n:F system with sequential failures' by R.C. Bollinger

摘要

The commenter considers the problem of finding the maximum number of failures that can occur when the system fails in R.C. Bollinger's system (see ibid., vol.R-34, no.1, p.43-5, 1985). A table is given which shows the difference in the values of M for various values of n when k=3. In replying, R.C. Bollinger thanks the commenter for calling attention to this problem.
