Abstract

Two renewal processes, known in reliability maintenance as minimal repair and replacement policy, are considered. Their properties are studied in the case where the generating random sequence has a distribution with periodic failure rate. A characterization theorem establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for a non-stationary Poisson process to have a periodic failure rate. Applications in risk theory are shown.
