Abstract
In the present paper, we study the residual extropy using distribution function and quantile function approaches. We also investigate extropy in past lifetime in both approaches. Some characterizations and ageing properties of these extropy measures are proposed. Different stochastic orders based on the residual and past lifetime extropy are also presented.
