摘要
We obtain explicit expressions for the distribution of surplus immediately before and after ruin which allow for simple derivation of bounds as well as simple evaluation for certain choices of the claim size distribution. We then use these expressions to construct Tijms-type approximations which are often exact. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
