Approximation of passage times of gamma-reflected processes with fBm input

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Define a gamma-reflected process W_γ(t)=Y_H(t)-γ\inf_{s\in[0,t]}Y_H(s), t\ge0 with input process {Y_H(t), t\ge 0} which is a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index H\in (0,1) and a negative linear trend. In risk theory {u-W_γ(t), t\ge 0} is referred to as the risk process with tax payments of a loss-carry-forward type. For various risk processes numerous results are known for the approximation of the first and last passage times to 0 (ruin times) when the initial reserve uu goes to infinity. In this paper we show that for the gamma-reflected process the conditional (standardized) first and last passage times are jointly asymptotically Gaussian and completely dependent. An important contribution of this paper is that it links ruin problems with extremes of non-homogeneous Gaussian random fields defined by Y_H which are also investigated in this contribution.
