The Distribution Function of the Longest Head Run

arXiv:2007.06735

Abstract

In this paper, the open problem of finding a closed analytical expression for the distribution function of the length of the longest pure head run in coin tosses of a possibly biased coin is solved by studying the closely related Markov chain of current head runs.

Due to an error in Theorem 4.3 on page 4. The proof does not work
