On the weak limit law of the maximal uniform k-spacing

Probability 2015-08-06 v1

Abstract

This paper gives a simple proof of a limit theorem for the lenght of the largest interval straddling a fixed number of i.i.d. points uniformly disributed on a unit interval. The key step in our argument is a classical theorem of Watson (1954) on the maxima of m-dependent stationary stochastic sequences.
