Adjustment coefficient for shape-two Erlang claims ($R=\frac{2k-1-\sqrt{1+4k}}{k\beta },k=\frac{2c}{\lambda \beta }>2$)

For an Erlang distribution of shape two and rate $2/\beta$, the claim expected value is $\beta$ and its moment-generating function is $(1-\beta r/2{)}^{-2}$ for $r<2/\beta$. The adjustment coefficient equation is $\lambda [(1-\beta R/2{)}^{-2}-1]=cR$. With $z=\beta R/2$, divide out the zero root to get $k(1-z{)}^2=2-z$. The smaller quadratic root lies in $(0,1)$ when $c>\lambda \beta$; the larger root lies beyond the finite-transform domain and must be rejected. This proves the displayed coefficient.
