Ruin probability for renewal risk models with neutral net profit condition

Abstract

In ruin theory, the net profit condition intuitively means that the incurred random claims on average do not occur more often than premiums are gained. The breach of the net profit condition causes guaranteed ruin in few but simple cases when both the claims' inter-occurrence time and random claims are degenerate. In this work, we give a simplified argumentation for the unavoidable ruin when the incurred claims on average occur equally as the premiums are gained. We study the discrete-time risk model with $N\in\mathbb{N}$ periodically occurring independent distributions, the classical risk model, also known as the Cram\'er-Lundberg risk process, and the more general E. Sparre Andersen model.
