Abstract

Some properties of repair age (the elapsed time since the last repair) and the residual repair life (the time until the next repair) are studied for the minimal repair process under various assumptions on the aging characteristics of the equipment under maintenance. Bounds on expected repair age and expected residual repair life are obtained. Some characterizations of the Poisson process are also proved.
