Popis: In this paper we consider the optimal levels of excess of loss reinsurance for a portfolio of risks. The optimality criterion that we use is essentially that the insurer's probability of ultimate ruin should be minimized. The solution to our problem, assuming the claims have a compound Poisson distribution and the reinsurance premiums are calculated by the expected value principle, is given in Theorems 1 and 2.
