Abstract
In this work, we propose a simplification of the Pollaczek-Khinchine formula for the ultimate time survival (or ruin) probability calculation in exchange for a few assumptions on the random variables which generate the renewal risk model. More precisely, we show the expressibility of the distribution function via the roots of the probability generating function , the expectation , and the probability mass function of . We assume that the random variables and are independent copies of and respectively, , and are independent non-negative and integer-valued, and the support of is finite. We give few numerical outputs of the proven theoretical statements when the mentioned random variables admit some particular distributions.
