Abstract
The paper investigates ultimate ruin probability, the probability that ruin time is finite, for an insurance company whose risk reserves follow a Markov-modulated jump–diffusion risk model. We use both the Banach contraction principle and q-scale functions to prove that ultimate ruin probability is the only fixed point of a contraction mapping and show that an iterative equation can be employed to calculate ultimate ruin probability by an iterative algorithm of approximating the fixed point. Using q-scale functions and the methodology from Gajek and Rudź [(2018). Banach contraction principle and ruin probabilities in regime-switching models. Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 80, 45–53] applied to the Markov-modulated jump–diffusion risk model, we get a more explicit Lipschitz constant in the Banach contraction principle and conveniently verify some similar results of their appendix in our case.
