Methodological and Bibliographical Remarks.

“This book is aimed at studying asymptotic expansions for moment hitting times, stationary and conditional quasi-stationary distributions, and various further functionals, for nonlinearly perturbed semi-Markov processes having finite phase space. … The bibliography is broad and relevant, and includes various publications of the authors thanks to their wide expertise on the topics under investigation. … book is of interest to researchers working on semi-Markov processes, and provides a useful reference for investigations dealing with asymptotic problems for perturbed stochastic processes.” (Antonio Di Crescenzo, Mathematical Reviews, July, 2018)
