Laplace transform asymptotics and large deviation principles for longest success runs in Bernoulli trials

TLDR
The longest stretch $L(n)$ of consecutive heads in $n$ i.i.d. coin tosses is seen from the prism of large deviations and precise asymptotics are established for the moment generating function of L(n).
Abstract
The longest stretch L(n) of consecutive heads in n independent and identically distributed coin tosses is seen from the prism of large deviations. We first establish precise asymptotics for the mom ...

Degenerate Laplace transform and degenerate gamma function

TL;DR: In this paper, the degenerate Laplace transform and degenerate gamma function were investigated and some interesting formulas related to them were derived from the results of the analysis. But their properties were not discussed.

A general large deviation principle for longest runs

TL;DR: In this paper, a general large deviation principle (LDP) for the longest success run in a sequence of independent Bernoulli trails has been proved, based on the Bryc's inverse Varadhan lemma.

Boundary value problems for the Dunkl Laplacian

TL;DR: In this article, the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution on the unit ball B of ℜd to the following boundary value problem were established and two cases of nonnegative perturbation φ: trivial and nontrivial.

Large deviations for longest runs in Markov chains

TL;DR: Liu et al. as discussed by the authors established a general LDP for the longest success run in a two-state Markov chain which recovers the previous result in the aforementioned paper and implemented suitable estimates of the distribution function.
