Ruin probabilities as recurrence sequences in a discrete-time risk process

Abstract: We apply the theory of linear recurrence sequences to find an expression for the ultimate ruin probability in a discrete-time risk process. We assume the claims follow an arbitrary distribution with support 0,1,ldots,m, for some integer mge2. The method requires to find the zeroes of an m degree polynomial and to solve a system of m linear equations. An approximation is derived from the exact ruin formula and several numerical results and plots are provided as examples.
