It expresses the moments in terms of compound geometric tails and presents recursive relations between the moments. Examples are given for individual claim random variables being exponential, combinations of exponentials, and ...

From Ruins to Ruin is a family saga told as a collection of linked short stories, not in chronological order. When Gonçalo and Beatrice meet near their respective hometowns in Portugal, they are driven by impulse and romanticism. The collision of these characters proves to be less than romantic.

The book gives a comprehensive treatment of the classical and modern ruin probability theory. Some of the topics are Lundberg's inequality, the Cramér-Lundberg approximation, exact solutions, other approximations (e.g., for heavy-tailed claim size distributions), finite horizon ruin probabilities, extensions of the classical compound Poisson model to ...

Causality: Ruin Time and Ruins
Leonardo, 1988A ruin is defined as the disjunctive product of the intrusion of nature upon an edifice without loss of the unity produced by the human builders. Ruin time, proposed as the principal cause of ruin, serves also to unify the ruin. In a ruin the edifice, the human-made part, and nature are one and inseparable; an edifice separated from its natural setting

We consider a natural generalization of the classical ruin problem to more than two parties. Our "ruin" problem, which we will call the (k, I)-game, starts with k players each having I units as its initial capital. At each round of the game, all remaining k′ players pay 1/k′th unit as game fee, play the game, and one of the players wins and receives ...

The Memory of Ruins and the Ruins of Memory
2012Fragments of Communal Memory When the significance of “ruins” emerged into human consciousness during the Renaissance, they were considered “objects of knowledge” (Makarius 2004: 7), a link to a lost world and a revelation of a past wisdom. Just as the “ruins” of ancient books were slowly being assembled, translated and interpreted, fragments of build -
