Abstract
In this chapter, we give a review of discrete renewal theory and prove the basic theorems for renewal sequences. We provide two different proofs of the theorem of Erdös-Feller-Pollard. Using extensions of a theorem of Wiener, we also obtain several rate of convergence results in discrete renewal theory.
