The book is an original monograph on risk theory, which is traditionally considered a branch of insurance mathematics. It deals with different continuous-time risk models and mainly provides results obtained by the authors recently.
The book covers several aspects of risk theory. It provides a detailed investigation of the continuity and differentiability of the infinite-horizon and finite-horizon survival probabilities for different risk models. It gives possible applications of the results concerning the smoothness of the survival probabilities; in particular, models with franchise, deductible and liability limit are considered. The book introduces the supermartingale approach, which generalizes the martingale approach introduced by Gerber, to get upper exponential bounds for the ruin probabilities in models with investments.
The book is an excellent supplement to existing textbooks and monographs in this field. It will be useful for researchers in probability theory, actuarial sciences, and financial mathematics, as well as graduate and postgraduate students. Some its aspects will also definitely be interesting to practitioners.
