ABSTRACT
We consider the problem of finding reinsurance policies that maximize the expected utility, the stability and the survival probability of the cedent for a fixed reinsurance premium calculated according to the maximal possible claims principle. We show that the limited stop loss and the truncated stop loss are the optimal contracts.
INTRODUCTION
Let X, a nonnegative random variable on a given probability space ([OMEGA], S, P), represent the aggregate claim amount for an insurance portfolio in a certain time period. Suppose the insurer wants to buy a reinsurance policy R arranged on X basis; i.e., R(X) is the part of X covered by the reinsurer and X - R(X) ...
<0. Given a reinsurer's premium P> <[m.sub.0] and c(m)>
