Abstract
The class of mean residual life functions and sequences is characterized. Apart from the utility of such characterizations for modelling life distributions through empirically determined mean residual lives, it is shown that such functions arise naturally in many areas such as branching processes. Several additional consequences regarding various nonparametric classes of life distributions are derived, including some characterizations of the exponential and uniform distributions.
