Abstract
We regard a multi-state one component system with graduate failure. The one level transitions are homogeneous Markov
transitions and the unit time work in the state i makes profit
Ci
. We suppose that the system runs during n periods with
constant length T and after each period we are able to make
an inspection of the system. Depending of its current state
we can decide to repair it or not. The problem is to find the
optimum policy for repairing such that the summary profit be
the greatest one.
