Title:  On the length of the longest excursion. (In English)
Source:  Z. Wahrscheinlichkeitstheor. Verw. Geb. 68, 365-382 (1985).
Review:  A lower limit of the length of the longest excursion of a symmetric random walk is given. Certain related problems are also discussed. It is shown e.g. that for any \epsilon > 0 and all sufficiently large n there are c(\epsilon) log log n excursions in the interval (0,n) with total length greater than n(1-\epsilon), with probability 1.
