Abstract

In this paper, we obtain the uniform estimate for discounted aggregate claims in the continuous-time renewal model of upper-tailed independent and heavy-tailed random variables. With constant interest force and constant premium rate, we establish a uniform simple asymptotic formula for ruin probability of the renewal model in the case where the initial surplus is large.
