摘要
In the classical risk model with Poisson arrivals, we study a functional approach which can be used to obtain new approximation formulae for the moments of the time to ruin. We explain how establishing differentiability of a functional, in appropriate function spaces, may lead to approximations for these moments. We consider various choices for the function spaces, which are suitable both for heavy-tailed and light-tailed claim-size distributions. The results are illustrated by some particular examples.
