Ruin probability via quantum mechanics approach. (English) Zbl 1401.91197

Summary: The finite time ruin probability in the classical surplus process setup with additional capital injections and withdrawals is investigated via the quantum mechanics approach. The results are compared with the Picard-Lefevre Appell polynomial approach and the traditional Markov chain approach. In addition, several optimization problems in the insurance market are numerically solved by applying the quantum mechanics approach.
