Abstract:
We continue the study of the discrete-time risk model introduced by Picard et al . (2003). The cumulative loss process ( S t ) t ∊ℕ has independent and stationary increments, the increments per unit of time having nonnegative integer values with distribution { a i , i ∊ ℕ and mean ā . The premium receipt process ( c k ) k ∊ℕ is deterministic, nonnegative and nonuniform; in addition, we assume it to be regular in order for there to exist a constant c & gt; ā such that the deviation is bounded as the time t varies. We are interested in whether or not ruin occurs within a finite time. If T is the time of ruin, we obtain P( T = ∞) as the limit of P( T & gt; t ) as t → ∞, firstly in the particular case where c = 1/ d for some positive d ∊ ℕ, and then in the general case for positive c under the condition that a 0 & gt; ½.
