If frequency a=0 the zero-claim-size correction vanishes. The exact assumptions, units and boundary conventions are recorded separately in the formal statement.

Mathematical relation:

If frequency a=0 the zero-claim-size correction vanishes.\text{If frequency a=0 the zero-claim-size correction vanishes.}

Parent topic: Finite-support Panjer counting law, severity convolution powers, aggregate distribution by genuine random-sum weights and corrected zero-severity Panjer recurrence. The particular Lean formula is a new finite/real-algebraic formalisation and remains an unproved theorem target if labelled theorem.
