Abstract

Suppose that a technical system is subject to shocks, e.g. peaks of voltages from a sequence of identically independent voltages having a lower limit value v > 0. We propose a new definition for the mean residual life of the records of the sequence and study its various properties. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
