ABSTRACT

In this paper we obtain, for spectrally negative Levy processes $X$, uniform approximations for the finite time ruin probability \[ \Psi(t,u) = {\mathbb P}_u[T\leq t],\quad T=\inf\{t\geq 0: X(t) < 0\}, \] when $u=X(0)$ and $t$ tend to infinity such that $v=u/t$ is constant, and the so-called Cramer light-tail condition is satisfied.
