Abstract
In this paper, upper and lower bounds are derived for convex reliability functions (or survival functions) with known first n moments. The case where the mean and the variance are given (n = 2) is discussed in details and explicit expressions are provided. Extensions for n >= 3 moments are described. Comparisons with existing bounds are performed.
