For integers $n\geq r$, we treat the $r$th largest of a sample of size $n$ as an $\mathbb{R}^\infty$-valued stochastic process in $r$ which we denote $\mathbf{M}^{(r)}$. We show that the sequence regarded in this way satisfies the Markov…

We provide a rather explicit formula for the resolvent of a~concatenation of $N$ processes in terms of their exit laws and certain probability measures characterizing the way the processes are concatenated. As an application, we prove an…

Metastable failure is a recent abstraction of a pattern of failures that occurs frequently in real-world distributed storage systems. In this paper, we propose a formal analysis and modeling of metastable failures in replicated storage…
