What is Asymptotic Mean Time To Failure and Higher Moments for Large, Recursive Networks about?

This paper deals with asymptotic expressions of the Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) and higher moments for large, recursive, and non-repairable systems in the context of two-terminal reliability. Our aim is to extend the well-known results of the series and parallel cases. We first consider several exactly solvable configurations of identical components with exponential failure-time distribution functions to illustrate different (logarithmic or power-law) behaviors as the size of the system, indexed by an integer n, increases. The general case is then addressed: it provides a simple interpretation of the origin of the power-law exponent and an efficient asymptotic expression for the total reliability of large, recursive systems. Finally, we assess the influence of the non-exponential character of the component reliability on the n-dependence of the MTTF.
