Such processes arise in numerous applications and are of interest in several areas of mathematical research, such as \u003ci\u003eStochastic Networks\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnalytic Combinatorics\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eQuantum Physics\u003c\/i\u003e. This second edition consists of two parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I\u003c\/b\u003e is a revised upgrade of the first edition (1999), with additional recent results on the group of a random walk. The theoretical approach given therein has been developed by the authors since the early 1970s.
