Treebolic space HT(q,p) is a key example of a strip complex in the sense of Bendikov, Saloff-Coste, Salvatori, and Woess [Adv. Math. 226 (2011), 992-1055]. It is an analog of the Sol geometry, namely, it is a horocylic product of the…

We propose a new approach for finding discrete harmonic functions in the quarter plane with Dirichlet conditions. It is based on solving functional equations that are satisfied by the generating functions of the values taken by the harmonic…

We present two path decompositions of Markov chains (with general state space) by means of harmonic functions, which are dual to each other. They can be seen as a generalization of Williams' decomposition of a Brownian motion with drift.…

We consider the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ equipped with the hyperbolic metric and the associated hyperbolic Laplacian $\mathfrak{L}$. For $\lambda \in \mathbb{C}$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$, a $\lambda$-polyharmonic function of order $n$ is a…
