Keywords:
geometric sum; upper bound for the uniform distance; stability; risk process; ruin probability
Summary:
The upper bounds of the uniform distance $\rho \left(\sum ^\nu _{k=1}X_k,\sum ^\nu _{k=1}\tilde{X}_k\right)$ between two sums of a random number $\nu$ of independent random variables are given. The application of these bounds is illustrated by stability (continuity) estimating in models in queueing and risk theory.
