Two convolution series arising naturally in various stochastic models are the renewal and the harmonic renewal measure,

These can be regarded as sequences if the underlying probability distribution p is concentrated on the integers. We investigate the behaviour of these series under infinitesimal perturbations of p and also obtain alternative series representations with better convergence properties.
