  • Abstract
    We study the asymptotic probability that a random composition of an integer n is gap-free, that is, that the sizes of parts in the composition form an interval. We show that this problem is closely related to the study of the probability that a sample of independent, identically distributed random variables with a geometric distribution is likewise gap-free.
