The series of paper consists of one monograph and 22 articles published during the last 7 years.

The series of papers is devoted to the analysis of random regenerative structures and random processes with regeneration. A regenerative random structure is a random structure or a family of random structures with an appropriately defined notion of size, such that distributional properties of structures of different sizes are consistent and invariant under a fixed operation that deletes a part of the structure. A random process with regeneration is a stochastic process defined on such a structure and indexed by a discrete or continuous variable representing its size.

          The notion of random process with immigration at the epochs of a renewal process is proposed and a classification of the modes of weak convergence of such processes is constructed. We obtain conditions for the weak convergence to a stationary process with immigration; prove limit theorems for renewal shot noise processes with eventually decreasing response functions in the cases of regular and slow variation of the normalization; derive limit theorems for random processes with immigration in case of the regularly varying normalization. As a by-product, limit theorems for several functionals on perturbed random walks are proved. For regenerative random compositions, we derive a number of limit theorems for various functionals. In particular, a functional limit theorem for the number of blocks in regenerative compositions derived from a compound Poisson processes (the Bernoulli sieve) is proved. We introduce a coupling of regenerative random compositions and coalescents with multiple collisions and apply it to prove several asymptotic results for coalescents with dust component. We propose and analyse a new stochastic operation of a random sieving. A connection of this operation with classical Galton-Watson processes is established. The notion of stability of point processes with respect to sieving is proposed, and a characterization of point processes which are stable with respect to sieving by random walks is derived.
