Abstract

The longest gap $L(t)$ up to time $t$ in a homogeneous Poisson process is the maximal time subinterval between epochs of arrival times up to time $t$; it has applications in the theory of reliability. We study the Laplace transform asymptotics for $L(t)$ as $t\rightarrow \infty$ and derive two natural and different large-deviation principles for $L(t)$ with two distinct rate functions and speeds.
