The Distribution of the Time of Ruin, the Surplus Immediately before Ruin and Deficit at Ruin under Two Sided Risk Renewal Process ()
1. Introduction
The ruin problems and its analysis have been studied extensively by many authors ever since its inception. In the second half of 1900’s Dickson et.al, Gerber et al. etc. have made a remarkable contribution to risk process both renewal and classical as well. Recently more works have been carried down in somewhat new approach in risk renewal process, so-called two sided jump process. Gerber and Shiu [1] have studied the joint density of the time of ruin, the surplus immediately before ruin and the deficit at ruin in the classical model of collective risk theory. Dufrence and Gerber [2] studied the joint density of function of the surplus immediately prior to ruin and deficit at ruin, later on, by adding one more quantity, the time of ruin. Their results have triggered a widespread research on this topic. For recent results in this area, we refer to Dickson and Hipp [3] [4] , Cheng and Tang [5] , Gerber and Shiu [6] [7] [8] , Li and Garrido [9] [10] , Pitts and Polis [11] that have generalized the results for phase type distributions and for sub exponential distributions.
The success of an insurance company is not only due to earnings in its conventional business but also due to intelligent investments of the money at its hand. Eventually risk invest can breed danger at the period when the market value of the assets is low and the company will not be able to recover from the loss because of market fluctuations. Therefore it is important to have a look on investments upon risk or risk free strategies. The investment of the money and settling down of the claim amount lead to a new branch of risk process called two sided risk process. More recently risk theory researches in two sided jumps field have got a remarkable attention. Substantial amount of works has been devoted to find the various ruin probability components under two sided risk model. For research on this kind of model, we refer to Perry, Stadje and Zacks [12] , Cai and Yang [13] , Yang and Zhimin [14] , Jacobson [15] , Xing, Zhang and Jiang [16] , Zhang, Yang and Li [17] , Albrecher, Gerber and Yang [18] , Yang and Zhang [19] , Dong and Liu [20] and Korolev, Chertok and Korchagin [21] . Although many published works concern with the multi dimensional risk process, the study is still in developing stage. Many problems are still far from the solution. The main reason of this is the complexity of mathematics involved in the problem.
The current paper aims at studying risk model with two sided jumps under some valid assumptions. In this paper we aim to derive a simple and unified expression for the densities of the time of ruin, the surplus immediately before ruin and deficit at ruin under two sided renewal risk process. The rest of the paper is organized as follows; In Section 2 we shall introduce some preliminary knowledge and focus on the main problem. In Section 3 we derive the densities under the condition suggested followed by the concluding remark.
2. Model and Assumptions
2.1. Risk Model with Two Sided Jumps
Stochastic process with two sided jumps has captured a lot of attention in recent times. Various first crossing times, two sided passage problems, ascending/ descending and some other related quantities have been studied under different model. The classical or Sparre Anderson renewal model consider only one sided rather the claim amount along with number of claims under some basic assumptions. The premium amount assumed to be constant and the respective random variables such as number of claims, claim size are also assumed to be independent to each other. In two sided jump problems we let the surplus amount at any point of time to be a function of more random variables. In other words we deposit or invest the surplus amount in some other profit making portfolio which breeds one more random variable preferably in positive direction. Apart from negatively moving claim size variable we thus having a one more positively moving random gain variable. This leads to a new kind of risk model termed as risk model with two sided jumps. This model can be extended to risk model with multi dimensional moves by incorporating more significant variables.
2.2. Model
Following the idea of Dong and Liu [20] we consider the surplus process as

where u ≥ 0,the initial surplus, p > 0, the constant premium rate,
Com-
pound Poisson process with intensity λ representing the total random gain (premium income or investment or annuity) until time t. Xi’s are independent and identically distributed random variables with common density
and mean μx. Here we assume that X follows an Erlangian (2, β) and Laplace trans-
forms of

and Laplace transform
. The claim sizes {Yj} are positive random variables with a common distribution function Q, density q and mean μy. Laplace transform

Let

Again, Let

Now,

3. Derivation of the Density Functions
In this model we assume the initial inter claim time, H ~ exp(α), the number of claims M(T) follows Poisson(λ), the random gain X ~ Erlang(2, β) and finally we propose the claim amount Y follows Lindley distribution with parameter θ.
For u ≥ 0, let

It is known, using

Since the conditional probability |R(T_)| does not depend on t we have

Using duality
, Now the differential
can be interpreted as the probability of the event that ruin does not take place by the time t, that the surplus process meets the level x between (t, t + dt), but does not attain the level x + dx owing a claim within dx/p time units after Tx and that the size of this claim is x + y.

4. Concluding Remarks
This paper is prepared to learn the insurance process under two sided jump risk renewal processes. We investigated a reformulated insurance process in which random gain and claim amount are all uncertain renewal processes. This paper derives the distribution of time of ruin, deficit at ruin, surplus amount t before ruin under two sided risk theory setup. The explicit expressions for the same are being derived. The application of other feasible distributions may be considered as a scope of further study.
