Let {νε, ε>0} be a family of probabilities for which the decay is governed by a large deviation principle, and consider the simulation of νε0(A) for some fixed measurable set A and some ε0>0. We investigate the circumstances under which an exponentially twisted importance sampling distribution yields an asymptotically efficient estimator. Varadhan's lemma yields necessary and sufficient conditions, and these are shown to improve on certain conditions of Sadowsky. This is illustrated by an example to which Sadowsky's conditions do not apply, yet for which an efficient twist exists.

In this paper we prove that the stationary distribution of populations in genetic algorithms focuses on the uniform population with the highest fitness value as the selective pressure goes to ∞ and the mutation probability goes to 0. The obtained sufficient condition is based on the work of Albuquerque and Mazza (2000), who, following Cerf (1998), applied the large deviation principle approach (Freidlin-Wentzell theory) to the Markov chain of genetic algorithms. The sufficient condition is more general than that of Albuquerque and Mazza, and covers a set of parameters which were not found by Cerf.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we establish a large deviation principle for stochastic Burgers type equation with reflection perturbed by the small multiplicative noise. The main difficulties come from the highly non-linear coefficient and the singularity caused by the reflection. Here, we adopt a new sufficient condition for the weak convergence criteria, which is proposed by Matoussi, Sabbagh and Zhang [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>].</p>

We prove the large deviation principle for continuous additive functionals under certain assumptions. The underlying symmetric Markov processes include Brownian motion and symmetric and relativistic α-stable processes.
