This paper considers the optimal design of accelerated life test in which the stress is linearly increased. It discusses the special case when the life distribution under constant stress follows an exponential distribution and the accelerated equation satisfies the inverse power law. It is assumed that cumulative damage is linear, that is, the remaining life of test units depends only on the current cumulative fraction failed and current stress(cumulative exposure model). The optimization criterion is the asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimator of the log mean life at a design stress. The optimal increasing rate is obtained to minimize the asymptotic variance. Table of sensitivity analysis is given for the prior estimators of model parameters.

B.Djafari Rouhani and W.A.Kirk [3] proved the following theorem: Let Xbe a reflexive Banach space and $(x_n)_{n{\geq}0}$ be a nonexpansive (resp., firmly nonexpansive )sequence in X. Then the set of weak ${\omega}$-limit points of the sequence $(\frac{x_n}{n})_{n{\geq}1}$(resp., $(x_{n+1}-x_n)_{n{\geq}0$) always lies on a convex subset of a sphere centered at the origin of radius $d={\lim}_{n{\rightarrow}{\infty}}\frac{{\parallel}x_n{\parallel}}{n}$. In this paper we show that the above theorem for nonexpansive(resp., firmly nonexpansive) sequences holds in a general Banach space(resp., a strictly convex dual $X^*$).

In this Paper, we examine the limiting distributional behaviour of extreme values of mixed Erlang random variables. We show that, in the finite mixture of Erlang distributions, the component distribution with an asymptotically dominant tail has a critical effect on the asymptotic extreme behavior of the mixture distribution and it converges to the Gumbel extreme-value distribution. Normalizing constants are also established. We apply this result to characterize the asymptotic distribution of maxima of sojourn times in M/M/s queuing system. We also show that Erlang mixtures with continuous mixing may converge to the Gumbel or Type II extreme-value distribution depending on their mixing distributions, considering two special cases of uniform mixing and exponential mixing.

A mapping f : $M{\rightarrow}N$ between Hilbert $C^*$-modules approximately preserves the inner product if $$\parallel<f(x),\;f(y)>-<x,y>\parallel\leq\varphi(x,y)$$ for an appropriate control function $\varphi(x,y)$ and all x, y $\in$ M. In this paper, we extend some results concerning the stability of the orthogonality equation to the framework of Hilbert $C^*$-modules on more general restricted domains. In particular, we investigate some asymptotic behavior and the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of the orthogonality equation.

In this paper asymptotic error expansions for mixed finite element approximations to a class of second order elliptic optimal control problems are derived under rectangular meshes, and the Richardson extrapolation of two different schemes and interpolation defect correction can be applied to increase the accuracy of the approximations. As a by-product, we illustrate that all the approximations of higher accuracy can be used to form a class of a posteriori error estimators of the mixed finite element method for optimal control problems.

In this paper, we show that the system of difference equations $x_n={\frac{ay^p_{n-1}+b(x_{n-2}y_{n-1})^{p-1}}{cy_{n-1}+dx^{p-1}_{n-2}}}$, $y_n={\frac{{\alpha}x^p_{n-1}+{\beta}(y_{n-2}x_{n-1})^{p-1}}{{\gamma}x_{n-1}+{\delta}y^{p-1}_{n-2}}}$, n ∈ ℕ₀ where the parameters a, b, c, d, α, β, γ, δ, p and the initial values x-2, x-1, y-2, y-1 are real numbers, can be solved. Also, by using obtained formulas, we study the asymptotic behaviour of well-defined solutions of aforementioned system and describe the forbidden set of the initial values. Our obtained results significantly extend and develop some recent results in the literature.

Based on the kernel function, a new test is presented, testing $H_0:\bar{F}$ is exponential against $H_1:\bar{F}$ is UBACT and not exponential is given in section 2. Monte Carlos null distribution critical points for sample sizes n = 5(5)100 is investigated in section 3. The Pitman asymptotic efficiency for common alternatives is obtained in section 4. In section 5 we propose a test statistic for censored data. Finally, a numerical examples in medical science for complete and censored data using real data is presented in section 6.

Purpose: This article provides a mathematical model for the accelerated degradation test when the performance degradation characteristic follows the lognormal distribution. Method: For developing test plans, the total number of test units and the test time are determined based on the minimization of the asymptotic variance of the q-th quantile of the lifetime distribution at the use condition. Results: The mathematical model for the accelerated degradation test is provided. Conclusion: Accelerated degradation test method is widely used to evaluate the product lifetime within a resonable amount of cost and time. In this article. a mathematical model for the accelerated degradation test method is newly developed for this purposes.

Let M be a Riemannian manifold with asymptotically non-negative curvature. We study the asymptotic behavior of the energy densities of a harmonic map and an exponentially harmonic function on M. We prove that the energy density of a bounded harmonic map vanishes at infinity when the target is a Cartan-Hadamard manifold. Also we prove that the energy density of a bounded exponentially harmonic function vanishes at infinity.

In this paper, we investigate maximum principle, convergence of sequences and angular limits for harmonic Bloch mappings. First, we give the maximum principle of harmonic Bloch mappings, which is a generalization of the classical maximum principle for harmonic mappings. Second, by using the maximum principle of harmonic Bloch mappings, we investigate the convergence of sequences for harmonic Bloch mappings. Finally, we discuss the angular limits of harmonic Bloch mappings. We show that the asymptotic values and angular limits are identical for harmonic Bloch mappings, and we further prove a result that applies also if there is no asymptotic value. A sufficient condition for a harmonic Bloch mapping has a finite angular limit is also given.
