Abstract

In this paper, we consider a nonstandard compound renewal risk model with or without a constant interest rate, in which claims at each accident moment are aggregated from a number of widely orthant dependent individual claims, and inter-arrival times are widely lower orthant dependent. We establish some asymptotic formulae for the finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities, when the individual claims are heavy-tailed. The obtained asymptotics hold uniformly on a finite or infinite time interval.
