Several expressions of the net single premiums under the constant force of mortality

In this article, we present several formulas that make it easier to compute the net single premiums when the mortality force over the fractional ages is assumed to be constant (C). More precisely, we compute the moments of the random variables $ν^{T_x}$, $T_x$, $T_xν^{T_x}$, etc., where $T_x$ denotes the future lifetime of a person who is $x\in\{0,\,1,\,\ldots\}$ years old, and $ν$ is the annual discount multiplier. We verify the obtained formulas on the real data from the human mortality table and the Gompertz survival law. The obtained numbers are compared with the corresponding ones when the survival function over fractional ages is interpolated using the uniform distribution of deaths (UDD) and Balducci's (B) assumptions. We also formulate and prove the statement on the comparison of the moments of the mentioned random variables under assumptions (C), (UDD), and (B).

Several facts about Theodor Wittstein, Gaetano Balducci, and some expressions of the net single premiums under their mortality assumption

The mathematical essence in life insurance spins around the search of the nu\-me\-ri\-cal characteristics of the random variables $T_x$, $ν^{T_x}$, $T_xν^{T_x}$, etc., where $ν$ (deterministic) denotes the discount multiplier and $T_x$ (random) is the future lifetime of an in\-di\-vi\-dual being of $x\in\{0,\,1,\,\ldots\}$ years old. This work provides some historical facts about T. Wittstein and G. Balducci and their mortality assumption. We also develop some formulas that make it easier to compute the moments of the mentioned random variables assuming that the survival function is interpolated according to Balducci's assumption. Derived formulas are verified using some hypothetical mortality data.
