| Authors: | Philip J. Boland Frank Proschan Y. L. Tong |
| Abstract: | We introduce the notion of comparison of the criticality of two nodes in a coherent system, and devlop a monotonicity property of the reliability function under component pairwise rearrangement. We use this property to find the optimal component arrangement. Worked examples illustrate the methods proposed. |
