Reviews

This monograph gives a comprehensive and contemporary overview of many recent advances on random walks over comb-like structures. ... This monograph is written in an explanatory and concise manner with plenty of concrete examples rather than a formal definition-theorem-proof textbook form. Nevertheless, necessary elements and preliminaries are presented to the reader and the results covered here reflect the state-of-the-art of the research on comb structures.
