On the Calculation of the Ruin Probability for a Finite Time Period

Abstract
In many risk theoretical questions a central problem is the numerical evaluation of a convolution integral and much effort has been devoted over the years to mathematical and computational aspects. The paper presented to this colloquium by O. Thorin shows the subject to be topical but the present note stems from a recent paper by H. L. Seal, "Simulation of the ruin potential of non-life insurance companies", published in the Transactions of the Society of Actuaries, Volume XXI page 563.
