This book offers a detailed review of perturbed random walks, perpetuities, and random processes with immigration. Being of major importance in modern probability theory, both theoretical and applied, these objects have been used to model various...

This is a collection of articles by Kai Lai Chung, previously published in the series Seminaire de Probabilites of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics, published on the occasion of the 2010 conference in Hong Kong in memory of Kai Lai Chung.Book...

This book describes in detail a quantity encoding spectral feature of random operators: the integrated density of states or spectral distribution function. It presents various approaches to the construction of the integrated density of states and the...

Queueing networks constitute a large family of stochastic models, involving jobs that enter a network, compete for service, and eventually leave the network upon completion of service. Since the early 1990s, substantial attention has been devoted to the...
