Abstract

This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the simultaneous ruin probability for a system of $n$ independent $\gamma$-reflected Brownian motions with drift. The process for each component $i$ is given by $\widehat{X}_i(t) = X_i(t) - \gamma_i \inf_{s \le t} X_i(s)$, where $X_i(t) = B_i(t) - c_i t$ is a standard Brownian motion with drift, and $\gamma_i \in (0, 1]$ is a reflection parameter. We derive a precise asymptotic formula for $\psi_\gamma(u) = \mathbb{P}\{\exists\, t \geq 0, \forall\, i = 1,…,n \colon \widehat{X}_i(t) > ub_i\}$ as the threshold $u$ tends to infinity of the form $\psi_\gamma(u) \sim C u^\zeta e^{-g^* u^2 / 2}$, where $g^*$ and $\zeta$ are given explicitly and $C \in (0, \infty)$ is a Pickands-type constant. This problem is motivated by applications in actuarial science, where $\psi(u)$ represents the simultaneous ruin of multiple insurance portfolios under a loss-carry-forward taxation scheme, and in queueing theory, where it corresponds to the simultaneous overflow of $n$ independent buffers.
