Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a renewal risk process with random premium income based on a Poisson process. Generating function for the discounted penalty function is obtained. We show that the discounted penalty function satisfies a defective renewal equation and the corresponding explicit expression can be obtained via a compound geometric tail. Finally, we consider the Laplace transform of the time to ruin, and derive the closed‐form expression for it when the claims have a discrete Km distribution (i.e. the generating function of the distribution function is a ratio of two polynomials of order m∈ℕ+).
