Asymptotic Stability of the Dynamic Solution of an N-Unit Series System with Finite Number of Vacations

Abstract

We investigate an N-unit series system with finite number of vacations. By analyzing the spectral distribution of the system operator and taking into account the irreducibility of the semigroup generated by the system operator we prove that the dynamic solution converges strongly to the steady state solution. Thus we obtain asymptotic stability of the dynamic solution of the system.
