Random Matrices are one of the major research areas in modern
probability theory, due to their prominence in many different
fields such as nuclear physics, statistics, telecommunication, free
probability, non-commutative geometry, and dynamical systems. A
great deal of recent work has focused on the study of spectra of
large random matrices on the one hand and on iterated random
functions, especially random difference equations, on the other.
However, the methods applied in these two research areas are fairly
dissimilar. Motivated by the idea that tools from one area could
potentially also be helpful in the other, the volume editors have
selected contributions that present results and methods from random
matrix theory as well as from the theory of iterated random
functions. This work resulted from a workshop that was held in
Munster, Germany in 2011. The aim of the workshop was to bring
together researchers from two fields of probability theory: random
matrix theory and the theory of iterated random functions. Random
matrices play fundamental, yet very different roles in the two
fields. Accordingly, leading figures and young researchers gave
talks on their field of interest that were also accessible to a
broad audience.

Der vorliegende Text basiert in seinen Grundzugen auf dem
Manuskript zu einer Vorlesung uber Erneuerungstheorie, die ich im
Wintersemester 1986/87 und im Sommersemester 1987 zunachst zwei-und
dann vierstundig an der Universitat Kiel abgehalten habe. Als ich
im Sommer 1986 damit begann, die ersten Kapitel niederzuschreiben,
schwebte mir eine Monographie gerin geren Umfangs vor, die im
wesentlichen die Hauptsatze der Erneuerungstheorie einschliesslich
vollstandiger Beweise sowie eine Anzahl interessanter und zugleich
typischer Anwendungen umfassen sollte. Von besonderer Bedeutung
erschien mir die Darstellung des seit der Wieder entdeckung der
Koppelungsmethode in den siebziger Jahren moeglichen rein
probabilistischen Zugangs, der bis dahin, zumindest im Hinblick auf
den Hauptsatz der Erneuerungstheorie, d. h. das Blackwellsche
Erneuerungstheorem, nicht existierte. Zusatzlichen Ansporn bot die
Tatsache, dass dieser Zugang offenbar noch keine Aufnahme in
einschlagigen Lehrbuchern ge funden hatte, wie uberhaupt eine
Monographie groesseren Umfangs uber Erneuerungstheorie
uberraschenderweise nicht verfugbar war. Letzteres brachte mich
schliesslich zu dem Entschluss, meine ursprungliche Planung zu
andern und ein Buch zu schreiben, das sowohl eine Einfuhrung in die
klassischen Resultate unter Einschluss des bereits erwahnten
probabilistischen Zugangs gibt als auch jungere Entwicklungen
berucksichtigt, wobei ich hier vor allem an die Theorie
Harris-rekurrenter Markov-Ketten und die Markov-Erneuerungstheorie
denke. Nachdem diese Entscheidung gefallen war, erschien zum Ende
meiner Vorlesung Mitte 1987 Soeren Asmussens exzellentes Werk
"Applied Probability and Queues ", das mich zu einem erneuten
UEberdenken des begonnenen Projektes bewog, indem es wichtige Teile
des zuvor von mir avisierten und bisher in Lehrbuchform nicht
verfugbaren Materials enthielt.
