Limiting behaviors for longest consecutive switches in an IID Bernoulli sequence

Probability 2022-01-19 v2

Abstract

In this paper we mainly discuss sharp lower and upper bounds for the length of longest consecutive switches in IID Bernoulli sequences. This work is an extension of results in Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}v\'{e}sz (1975) for longest head-run and Hao et al. (2021) for longest consecutive switches in unbiased coin-tossing, and might be applied to reliability theory, biology, quality control, pattern recognition, finance, etc.
