New algorithms for construction of asymptotic expansions for stationary distributions of nonlinearly perturbed semi-Markov processes with finite phase spaces are presented. These algorithms are based on a special technique of sequential phase space reduction, which can be applied to processes with an arbitrary asymptotic communicative structure of phase spaces. Asymptotic expansions are given in two forms, without and with explicit upper bounds for remainders.

Asymptotic expansions with explicit upper bounds for remainders are given for stationary distributions of nonlinearly perturbed semi-Markov processes with finite phase spaces. The corresponding algorithms are based on a special technique of sequen- tial phase space reduction, which can be applied to processes with an arbitrary asymptotic communicative structure of phase spaces. 

Coupling method is used for geting ergodic theorems for perturbed Markov chains with damping component and rates of convergence in such theorems.

New algorithms for construction of asymptotic expansions for exponential and power-exponential moments of hitting times for  nonlinearly perturbed  semi-Markov processes are presented. The algorithms are based on special techniques of sequential phase space reduction and the systematical use  of operational calculus for Laurent asymptotic expansions applied to moments of hitting times for perturbed semi-Markov processes. These algorithms have an universal character. They can be applied to nonlinearly perturbed semi-Markov processes with an arbitrary asymptotic communicative structure of a phase space. Asymptotic expansions are given in two forms, without and with explicit bounds for remainders. The algorithms are computationally effective, due to a recurrent character of the corresponding computational procedures.

New algorithms for computing asymptotic expansions for exponential and mixed power-exponential moments of hitting times for non-linearly perturbed semi-Markov processes are presented. The algorithms are based on special techniques of sequential phase space reduction and some kind of operational calculus for Laurent asymptotic expansions applied to moments of hitting times for perturbed semi-Markov processes. These algorithms have a universal character. They can be applied to nonlinearly perturbed semi-Markov processes with an arbitrary asymptotic communicative structure of the phase space. Asymptotic expansions are given in two forms, without and with explicit bounds for remainders. The algorithms are computationally effective, due to a recurrent character of the corresponding computational procedures.

The book presents new methods of asymptotic analysis for nonlinearly perturbed semi-Markov processes with a finite phase space. These methods are based on special time-space screening procedures for sequential phase space reduction of semi-Markov processes combined with the systematical use of operational calculus for Laurent asymptotic expansions. Effective recurrent algorithms are composed for getting asymptotic expansions, without and with explicit upper bounds for remainders, for power moments of hitting times, stationary and conditional quasi-stationary distributions for nonlinearly perturbed semi-Markov processes. These results are illustrated by asymptotic expansions for birth-death-type semi-Markov processes, which play an important role in various applications. The book will be a useful contribution to the continuing intensive studies in the area. It is an essential reference for theoretical and applied researchers in the field of stochastic processes and their applications that will contribute to continuing extensive studies in the area and remain relevant for years to come.
