This collection honours Ron Doney’s work and includes invited articles by his collaborators and friends. After an introduction reviewing Ron Doney’s mathematical achievements and how they have influenced the field, the contributed papers cover both discrete-time processes, including random walks and variants thereof, and continuous-time processes, including Lévy processes and diffusions. A good number of the articles are focused on classical fluctuation theory and its ramifications, the area for which Ron Doney is best known.

Derived from extensive teaching experience in Paris, this second edition now includes over 100 exercises in probability. New exercises have been added to reflect important areas of current research in probability theory, including infinite divisibility of stochastic processes, past-future martingales and fluctuation theory. For each exercise the authors provide detailed solutions as well as references for preliminary and further reading. There are also many insightful notes to motivate the student and set the exercises in context. Students will find these exercises extremely useful for easing...
