Uniform Approximation of the Generalized Cut Function by Erlang Cumulative Distribution Function and Application in Applied Insurance Mathematics

In this paper we study the uniform approximation of the generalized cut function by sigmoidal Erlang cumulative distribution function (Ecdf). The results are relevant for applied insurance mathematics and are intended for the actuary when preparing the strategy “Insurance responsibility”. Numerical examples are presented using CAS MATHEMATICA.
