  • p.\(120^{5}\): \( Z_T \) should be \( M_T \) .
  • p.\(120^{5}\): The rest of the page: interchange the meaning of \( x \) and \( z \) except for \( f_t(x,z)\) where they are correctly placed.
  • p.\(120^{7}\): \( e^{-\mu x/\sigma^2} \) should be \( e^{\mu x/\sigma^2} \) .

  • p.\(149^{6}\): In the phase-type representation, last row of the subintensity matrix should be \(\frac{3}{2}\) and \(-\frac{3}{2}\) instead of \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(-\frac{3}{4}\) .

  • p.\(312^{14}\): Replace symbol \( F_0 \) by \( G \) .

  • p.\(383\): Example 6.3.5 is rather messed up. Where it say "claim surplus" is should say "risk reserve", and consequently the meanings of \( U_n \) and \( T_n \) should be interchanged. From line \( 383_6 \) onwards should be deleted. It can be used that \( -X_{n-i+1} \stackrel{d}{=} -X_i \) to conclude that the risk-reserve process is dual to a queueing process, where the service times are the claims and interarrivals in the queue equals the premium rate times the interarrivals in the risk process.
