Abstract

We consider the optimal duration problem of a burn-in experiment for n identical componenents with conditionally exponential lifetimes. The problem is formulated as an optimal stopping problem for a suitably defined Markov process. We prove that the optimal stopping problem is monotone and derive a set of equations that uniquely determine the solution
