Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new efficient method for calculating the Gerber-Shiu discounted penalty function. Generally, the Gerber-Shiu function usually satisfies a class of integro-differential equation. We introduce the physics-informed neural networks (PINN) which embed a differential equation into the loss of the neural network using automatic differentiation. In addition, PINN is more free to set boundary conditions and does not rely on the determination of the initial value. This gives us an idea to calculate more general Gerber-Shiu functions. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the very good performance of our approximation.
