Asymptotic reliability of a linearly connected system with an infinite number of components

Abstract: Many large engineering systems can be viewed as linearly connected systems imbedded into non-homogeneous Markov chains. In order to analyse asymptotic reliability for such systems we cannot apply the standard ergodic methods. In this paper we formulate a general structure for a linearly connected system and apply martingale methods to get asymptotic results.
