  • Renewal risk processes with stochastic returns on investments : a unified approach and analysis of the ruin probabilities

    Creator:
    Constantinescu, Corina D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis considers one of the classical problems in the actuarial mathematics literature, the decay of the probability of ruin in the collective risk model. The claim number process N(t) is assumed to be a renewal process, the resulting model being referred as the Sparre Andersen risk model. The inter-claim...

  • Computing entropy for Z²-actions

    Creator:
    Pierce, Larry A.
    Abstract:
    For a certain class of Z²-actions, we provide a proof of a conjecture that the ratio of the Perron eigenvalues of the transfer matrices of the free boundary restrictions converge to the entropy of that action. Also, a novel method for computing the entropy of Z²-actions is conjectured.
