Abstract
Abstract. In this article we consider infinite sequences of Bernoulli trials and study the exact and asymptotic distribution of the number of failures and the number of successes observed before the r-th appearance of a pair of successes separated by a pre-specified number of failures. Several formulae are provided for the probability mass function, probability generating function and moments of the distribution along with some asymptotic results and a Poisson limit theorem. A number of interesting applications in various areas of applied science are also discussed.
