While the interarrival times of the classical Poisson process are exponentially distributed, complex systems often exhibit non-exponential patterns, motivating the use of the fractional Poisson process, in which interarrival times follow a Mittag–Leffler distribution. This paper investigates the associated risk process, describes its Cramér–Lundberg formula and establishes a relationship between the continuous premium rate and the fractional claim frequency. For a compound fractional risk process with exponential claims, we derive closed-form expressions for the finite-time ruin probability.

Abstract
While the interarrival times of the classical Poisson process are exponentially distributed, complex systems often exhibit non-exponential patterns, motivating the use of the fractional Poisson process, in which interarrival times follow a Mittag–Leffler distribution. This paper investigates the associated risk process, describes its Cramér–Lundberg formula and establishes a relationship between the continuous premium rate and the fractional claim frequency. For a compound fractional risk process with exponential claims, we derive closed-form expressions for the finite-time ruin probability. Furthermore, for a general claim distribution, we provide ruin probability estimates that can serve as a basis for developing reinsurance strategies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
