摘要
The present work introduces simple approximations of one dimensional availability function using phase type distribution via moments, renewal function and Riemannian sum. A closed form solution for the availability function with phase type inter event times is not available in the literature. Availability function is expressed in terms of the renewal equations for number of failures and repairs. Examples are provided in two cases such as the combination of Exponential-Exponential and Erlang-Erlang alternating renewal processes. An Application of the problem to a communication system is used to test the approximations.
