Abstract
In this paper, the risk model with constant interest based on an entrance process is investigated. Under the assumptions that the entrance process is a renewal process and the claims sizes satisfy a certain dependence structure, which belong to the different heavy-tailed distribution classes, the finite-time asymptotic estimate of the bidimensional risk model with constant interest force is obtained. Particularly, when inter-arrival times also satisfy a certain dependence structure, these formulas still hold.
1. Introduction
In this paper, we investigate a bidimensional risk model based on entrance processes, in which an insurance company operates two kinds of business. Suppose that the initial insurance fund for i-th class is and is entry time of the j-th policy with and , . The corresponding renewal process, up to the time t, is
where is the indicator function.
Denote renewal function by and suppose the for all and . Let the validity time of the j-th policy be with probability , , and , where they are independent and identically distributed. The premium is and is a strictly increasing function. is claim time of the j-th policy and independent and identically distributed function . is the j-th claim size and identically distributed function . Suppose that , and have the same distributions with random variables , and , respectively.
Assume that an insurance company invests risk free market with force of interest , then up to time t, the surplus process of the insurance company is written as:
Now the following two types of ruin times for a bidimensional risk model based on entrance processes are considered. we define the first time when both and become negative by
the first time when both or become negative by
Then we define the corresponding ruin probabilities with the finite time respectively by
and
We know that Li et al. (2005) put forward into a new model ( ) based on an entrance process and discussed asymptotic normality of the risk process. Furthermore, Some scholars got some conclusions through the study of the model. Li and Kong (2007) discussed the weak convergence properties of the model. Xiao et al. (2008) studied some limit properties of the model under constant interest. Xiao and Tang (2009) studied the infinite ruin probability with constant interest within Poisson process and class . Xiao et al. (2013) discussed the ruin probability of model. It is clear that the above literatures are improved and investigated for one-dimensional risk model based on entrance processes. Recently, people have been interested in two-dimensional risk model, see, for example, Chan et al. (2003); Li et al. (2007); Zhang and Wang (2012) and so on. It is well known that these literatures are investigated in the classical model, and the risk model based on entrance processes is more important and actual. Therefore, on the basis of above literatures, we consider a bidimensional risk model based on entrance processes.
Because Theorem 1 of Xiao and Tang (2009) is obtained under the Poisson process and the regular variation class, we know that this is far from the actual. Hence, in this paper, we consider the model and obtain the finite-time ruin probability under the class with constant interest when claim sizes satisfy a certain dependence under the renewal process. The conclusion also extend the above Theorem 1 and Theorem 3.1 of Xiao et al. (2013). At the same time, it indicates that tail characteristics of claim distribution determine the ruin probability of insurance company, which is of great significance to the safe operation and the risk assessment of insurance company.
This paper is organized as follows: The second Section introduces the preliminary knowledge. The third Section presents the main results of this paper. The fourth Section gives some lemmas. Finally, the fifth Section gives the proofs of main Theorems.

4. Conclusions
In summary, this paper studies the two-dimensional independent risk model based on entrance processes with constant interest rate. Under the assumptions that the entry process of policies of two kinds of business of insurance companies have different renewal processes, the claims sizes of two kinds of business are independent of each other, and the claims sizes of the same kind of business are pairwise strong quasi-asymptotically independent, which belong to the class , the maximum finite-time ruin probability and the minimum finite-time ruin probability are obtained, respectively. If intervals of entry time of the policy satisfy the wide lower quadrant dependence, The finite-time maximum ruin probability and the finite-time minimum ruin probability are also obtained.
