Review Quotes: "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."
