3 3 1. Discrete-time insurance risk model. Let {X i, i 1} and {Y i, i 1} be insurance and financial risks and the aggregate net losses n i S n = Y j, (1) for each positive integer n. The finite and infinite time ruin probabilities are i=1 X i j=1 ( ) ψ(x, n) = P max S k > x 1 k n ψ(x) = lim ψ(x, n) = P n where x 0 is interpreted as the initial capital., (2) ( ) sup S n > x n 1, (3)
4 4 page If we denote the product θ i = i j=1 Y j in (1), the ruin probabilities ψ(x, n) and ψ(x) represent the tail probabilities of the maximum of randomly weighted sums. In case of independence between {X i, i 1} and {θ i, i 1}, under the presence of heavy-tailed insurance risks, was recently established the asymptotic formula ψ(x, n) n P(X i θ i > x), x, (4) i=1 holds for each fixed n, or ψ(x) P(X i θ i > x), x. (5) i=1
5 5 1. Dependence structure. The survival copula C(u, v) is defined by the formula C(u, v) = u + v 1 + C(1 u, 1 v), (u, v) [0, 1] 2, with respect to the given copula C(u, v). Clearly, the survival copula with respect to C(u, v) can be represented as C(F (x), G(y)) = P(X > x, Y > y).
6 6 Assume that the copula function C(u, v) is absolutely continuous. Denote by C 1 (u, v) = u C(u, v), C 2(u, v) = v C(u, v), C 12(u, v) = 2 u v C(u, v). Then C 2 (u, v) := v C(u, v) = 1 C 2(1 u, 1 v), and C 12 (u, v) := 2 u v C(u, v) = C 12(1 u, 1 v). Assumption A 1. (Albrecher et al. 06) There exists a positive constant M such that lim sup v 1 lim sup u 1 C 12 (u, v) = lim sup v 1 lim sup u 1 C 12 (1 u, 1 v) < M.
7 7 Assumption A 2. (Asimit and Badescu 10) The relation holds uniformly on (0, 1). Clearly, Assumption A 2 is equivalent to C 2 (u, v) u C 12 (0+, v), u 0, 1 C 2 (u, v) (1 u) C 12 (1, v), u 1, holds uniformly on (0, 1). Thus, if the copula C(u, v) of the random vector (X, Y ) satisfies Assumptions A 1 and A 2, then the copula of (X +, Y ), denoted by C + (u, v), satisfies these two assumptions as well.
8 8 Assumption A 3. The relation C 2 (u, v) = 1 C 2 (1 u, 1 v) 0, u 0, holds uniformly on [0, 1]. We remark that Assumption A 3 is equivalent to the fact that holds uniformly on R. P(X x Y = y) = C 2 [F (x), G(y)] 0, x, (6)
9 9 We remind the classes of distributions: 1. L = { F lim x F (x y) F (x) } = 1, y R, 2. D = { F lim sup x F (xu) F (x) } <, u (0, 1). 3. C = { F lim u 1 lim sup x } F (xu) F (x) = 1,.
10 10 A distribution F on R belongs to the class R α, if lim F (x y)/f (x) = y α for some α 0 and all y > 0. It is well known that the following inclusion relationships hold: R α C L D L Furthermore, for a distribution F on R, denote its upper and lower Matuszewska indices, respectively, by J + F = lim y log F (y) log y with F (y) := lim inf F (x y) F (x) for y > 1, J F = lim y log F (y) log y with F (y) := lim sup F (x y) F (x) for y > 1. Clearly, F D is equivalent to J + F <. For each i 1, denote by H i the distribution of X i i j=1 Y j, j 1 and let H 1 = H.
11 11 3. Asymptotic results. Theorem 1. In the discrete-time risk model, assume that {(X i, Y i ), i 1} are i.i.d. random vectors with generic random vector (X, Y ) satisfying Assumptions A 1 A 3. If F C and EY p < for some p > J + F, then, for each fixed n 1, it holds that ψ(x, n) n H i (x). (7) i=1
12 12 Corollary 1. (1) Under the conditions of Theorem 1, if F R α for some α 0, then, for each fixed n 1, it holds that ψ(x, n) EY α c 1 (EY α ) n F (x), (8) 1 EY α by convention, (1 (EY α ) n )/(1 EY α ) = n if EY α = 1.
13 13 Theorem 2. Under the conditions of Theorem 1, if J F > 0 and EY p < 1 for some p > J + F, then it holds that ψ(x) H i (x). (9) i=1
14 14 Corollary 2. Under the conditions of Theorem 2, if F R α for some α > 0, then ψ(x) EY α c 1 EY α F (x). (10) Moreover, (8) holds uniformly over the integers {n 1}.
15 15 The last result shows that the asymptotic relation (11) for the finite time probability is uniform over the integers {n 1}. Theorem 3. Under the conditions of Theorem 2, the asymptotic relation ψ(x, n) n H i (x). (11) i=1 holds uniformly over the integers {n 1}.
