Words in Random Binary Sequences I

Abstract

When flipping a fair coin, let W = L1L2...LN with Li∈\H,T\ be a binary word of length N=2 or N=3. In this paper, we establish second- and third-order linear recurrence relations and their generating functions to discuss the probabilities pW(n) that binary words W appear for the first time after n coin tosses.
