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.
In the classical risk model with density and relative safety loading , the claim mean is and . The convolution terms satisfy . Applying to yields . Its solution is fixed by , and , giving the displayed probability. The derivative condition comes from the original integral equation and excludes spurious solutions of the higher-order equation.
