This carefully written monograph covers the Sparre Andersen process in an actuarial context using the renewal process as the model for claim counts.A unified reference on Sparre Andersen (renewal risk) processes is included, often missing from existing literature. The authors explore recent results and analyse various risk theoretic quantities associated with the event of ruin, including the time of ruin and the deficit of ruin. Particular att...

This book explains the underlying quantitative basis for understanding catastrophe phenomena, both natural and man-made. The catastrophes covered range from geological, meteorological and hydrological hazards to political violence, industrial, ecological and financial risk.

This is a unique book about natural catastrophes, focusing on the mathematical aspects of these phenomena. Although academic in style and didactic in purpose, it is practical in the treatment of the diverse issues covered, which range from hazard warning and forecasting to engineering design criteria and insurance loss estimation. Addressing as it does many mathematical topics not found together in a single volume, the book should be of value ...
