摘要
We obtain an upper and a lower bound for the renewal function in a renewal process with IMRL lifetimes. The lower bound improves a well-known bound by Brown (1980). We study the performance of these bounds both theoretically and with the aid of numerical examples. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
