In recent decades, two-dimensional random walks in domains with non-smooth boundaries became increasingly popular and are of interest to several groups in the mathematical community. In fact, these Markovian objects are encountered in pure probabilistic problems, as well as in applications involving queueing theory and, more recently, enumerative combinatorics. This monograph is the continuation of the first edition (1999), aiming to promote original mathematical methods to determine the invariant measure of such processes. Moreover, these methods can also be employed to characterize the transient behavior. Complex function theory, boundary value problems, Riemann surfaces, functional equations, and Galois theory are the main mathematical ingredients necessary for our purpose.
