Good afternoon,
my question is the following
in which cases is it written r and rr?

There is no rule for the vague situation (or rather, no situation) which you have presented. Did you have something specific in mind, as for instance before verb endings -ed and -ing ? In this case double the consonant to maintain the short vowel sound: war / warred / warring stir / stirred / stirring
