The book will serve researchers in mathematical and statistical theory and theoretical and applied reliabilists.
- Presents classical and newly published results on convex functions and related inequalities
- Explains partial ordering based on arrangement and their applications in mathematics, probability, statsitics, and reliability
- Demonstrates the connection of partial ordering with other well-known orderings such as majorization and Schur functions
- Will generate further research and applications
Research-level mathematicians, statisticians, and engineers, as well as second-year graduate students in these areas.
