Ruin integro-differential equation

ID: ruin-integro-differential-equation

In the classical risk model, condition on the first arrival of the Poisson process. If available capital just before it is , ruin has probability . Integrate this expression at against and change variables from to . Differentiating the lower limit gives the displayed equation. The claim-density convolution is continuous for bounded , so the first-arrival representation also supplies the differentiability required by the equation.
