We give a probabilistic analysis of parameters related to alpha-gapped repeats and palindromes in random words, under both uniform and memoryless distributions (where letters have different probabilities, but are drawn independently). More precisely, we study the expected number of maximal alpha-gapped patterns, as well as the expected length of the longest alpha-gapped pattern in a random word.
