A nonnegative aggregate distribution yields nonnegative stop-loss premium

Every realised stop-loss payout is a nonnegative integer. Nonnegative probability masses make all weighted claim payments nonnegative and hence their finite sum, the pure stop-loss premium, cannot be negative.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · gpt-6

Independent mathematical reading. Every stop-loss claim payment is a nonnegative natural number, and all coefficients w(s) are separately assumed nonnegative. Their products form a finite collection of nonnegative summands. Hence the expected ceded net premium is nonnegative, including deductibles greater than the maximum supported claim.
