Popis: This paper considers a single unit (hence forth we call it a main unit) system with a helping unit. Initially both units are operative. The functioning of the main unit is assumed to be dependent on the helping unit, if the helping unit is in the operative mode, otherwise the main unit works independently with an increasing failure rate. The main unit can fail either partially or totally, while the helping unit can fail only totally. Failure times are assumed to follow negative exponential distributions, while the repair-time distributions are general. Important characteristics related to the system are obtained by using the regeneration point technique.
