Ruin Probabilities for Erlang(2) Risk Processes1
In this paper we consider a risk process in which claim inter-arrival times have an Erlang(2) distribution. We consider the in nite time survival probability as a compound geometric random variable and give expressions from which both the survival probability from initial surplus zero and the ladder height distribution can be calculated. We consider explicit solutions for the survival/ruin prob...
متن کاملEvaluating failure time probabilities for a Markovian wear process
We present simpli0ed analytical results for the numerical evaluation of failure time probabilities for a single-unit system whose cumulative wear over time depends on its external environment. The failure time distribution is derived as a one-dimensional Laplace–Stieltjes transform with respect to the temporal variable using a direct solution approach and by inverting an existing two-dimensiona...
متن کاملA uniform asymptotic expansion for the incomplete gamma functions revisited
A new uniform asymptotic expansion for the incomplete gamma function Γ(a, z) valid for large values of z was given by the author in J. Comput. Appl. Math. 148 (2002) 323–339. This expansion contains a complementary error function of an argument measuring transition across the point z = a, with easily computable coefficients that do not involve a removable singularity in the neighbourhood of thi...
متن کاملSupplements to Known Monotonicity Results and Inequalities for the Gamma and Incomplete Gamma Functions
In particular they proved that for x > 0 and α = 0 the function [Γ(1 + 1/x)]x decreases with x, while when α=1 the function x[Γ(1+1/x)]x increases.Moreover they also showed that the values α= 0 and α= 1, in the properties mentioned above, cannot be improved if x ∈ (0,+∞). In this paper we continue the investigation on the monotonicity properties for the gamma function proving, in Section 2, the...
