Approximation for the ultimate ruin probability is derived by rounding. And upper bound and lower bound are also derived by rounding-down and rounding-up respectively. According to the upper bound and lower bound, we can easily obtain the error estimation of the approximation. Applications of the results to the compound Poisson model are given.展开更多

It is shown that the maximum surplus distribution before ruin satisfies the integro-differential equation with certain boundary conditions. Explicit expressions are obtained when claims amounts are rationally distributed. Finally, the surplus distribution at the time of ruin and the surplus distribution immediately before ruin are presented.展开更多

We mainly study the distribution of maximum surplus prior to ruin. A matrix form of integro-differential equation for this quantity is derived, and its solution can be expressed as a linear combination of particular solutions of the corresponding homogeneous integro-differential equations. By using the divided differences technique and nonnegative real part roots of Lundberg＇s equation, the explicit Laplace transforms of particular solutions are obtained. Specially, we can deduce closed-form results as long as the individual claim size is rationally distributed. We also give a concise matrix expression for the expected discounted dividend payments under a barrier dividend strategy. Finally, we give some examples to present our main results.展开更多
