Abstract

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the ruin probability in the risk model with stochastic premiums where dividends are paid according to a multi-layer dividend strategy. We obtain an exponential bound for the ruin probability and investigate conditions, under which it holds for a number of distributions of the premium and claim sizes. Next, we use the exponential bound to construct non-exponential bounds for the ruin probability. We show that the non-exponential bounds turn out to be tighter than the exponential one in some cases. Moreover, we derive explicit formulas for the ruin probability when the premium and claim sizes have either the hyperexponential or the Erlang distributions and apply them to investigate how tight the bounds are. To illustrate and analyze the results obtained, we give numerical examples.
