In this paper, we consider some dividend problems in the perturbed compound Poisson model under a constant barrier dividend strategy. We approximate the expected present value of dividend payments before ruin and the expected discounted penalty function based on the COS method, and construct some nonparametric estimators by using a random sample on claim number and individual claim sizes. Under a large sample size setting, we perform an error analysis of the estimators. We also provide some simulation results to verify the effectiveness of this estimation method when the sample size is finite.

In this paper, the classical compound Poisson model under periodic observation is studied. Different from the random observation assumption widely used in the literature, we suppose that the inter-observation time is a constant. In this model, both the finite-time and infinite-time Gerber-Shiu functions are studied via the Laguerre series expansion method. We show that the expansion coefficients can be recursively determined and also analyze the approximation errors in detail. Numerical results for several claim size density functions are given to demonstrate effectiveness of our method, and the effect of some parameters is also studied.
