On a discrete risk model with two-sided jumps

In this paper, we consider a discrete renewal risk model with phase-type interarrival times and two-sided jumps. In this model, downward jumps represent claim loss, while upward jumps are also allowed to represent random gains. Assume that the downward jumps have an arbitrary probability function and the upward jumps have a rational probability generating function. We study the (Gerber-Shiu) discounted penalty function. The generating function, the recursive formula as well as an explicit expression for the discounted penalty function are obtained.
