Extremal two-correlations of two-valued stationary one-dependent processes. (English) Zbl 0638.60056

The maximal value of the two-correlation for two-valued stationary one- dependent processes with fixed probability \(\alpha\) of a single symbol is determined. We show that the process attaining this bound is unique except when \(\alpha =\), when there are exactly two different processes. The analogous problem for minimal two-correlation is discussed, and partial results are obtained.
