A note on extended block replacement policy with used items

The extended block replacement policy with used items as advocated by Tango (1978) uses used items of age T only although the policy creates used items of lower age. In this note we modify Tango's policy so as to make use of all used items created by the policy. RENEWAL PROCESS; LIFETIME DISTRIBUTION
