Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the conventional Cramér-Lundberg ruin model. The focus lies on evaluating transforms related to the all-time and time-dependent ruin probabilities (where the latter, in our setting, concerns ruin before an exponentially distributed amount of time). An important role is played by a duality with the M/G/1 queueing model. We present four independent analysis techniques; they differ in the sense whether the ruin model or the corresponding queueing model (or a mixture of both) has been used.
