In this paper, we generate boundary value problems for ruin probabilities of surplus-dependent premium risk processes, under a renewal case scenario, Erlang (2) claim arrivals, and a hypoexponential claims scenario, Erlang (2) claim sizes. Applying the approximation theory of solutions of linear...

In this paper we study an optimal investment problem of an insurer when the company has the opportunity to invest in a risky asset using stochastic control techniques. A closed form solution is given when the risk preferences are exponential as well as an estimate of the ruin probability when...

In a virtual organization directed on the insurance business, the estimations of the risk process and of the ruin probability are important concerns: for researchers, at the theoretical level, and for the management of the company, as these influence the insurer strategy. We consider the...

In this paper, we extend the concept of ruin in risk theory to the Parisian type of ruin. For this to occur, the surplus process must fall below zero and stay negative for a continuous time interval of specified length. Working with a classical surplus process with exponential jump size, we...

In this paper, we extend the concept of ruin in risk theory to the Parisian type of ruin. For this to occur, the surplus process must fall below zero and stay negative for a continuous time interval of specified length. We obtain the probability of ruin in the infinite horizon for the case when...

In this paper we consider a jump-diffusion type approximation of the classical risk process by a gamma Levy process. We derive here the asymptotic behavior (lower and upper bounds) of the finite time ruin probability for any gamma Levy process.

In this paper we introduce a generalization of the De Vylder approximation. Our idea is to approximate the ruin probability with the one for a different process with gamma claims, matching first four moments. We compare the two approximations studying mixture of exponentials and lognormal...

Ruin probabilities in a controlled discrete-time risk process with a Markov chain interest are studied. To reduce the risk there is a possibility to reinsure a part or the whole reserve. Recursive and integral equations for ruin probabilities are given. Generalized Lundberg inequalities for the...
