The longest gap $L(t)$ up to time $t$ in a homogeneous Poisson process is the maximal time subinterval between epochs of arrival times up to time $t$; it has applications in the theory of reliability. We study the Laplace transform asymptotics for $L(t)$ as $t\rightarrow \infty$ and derive two natural and different large-deviation principles for $L(t)$ with two distinct rate functions and speeds.

AbstractThe longest stretch L(n) of consecutive heads in n independent and identically distributed coin tosses is seen from the prism of large deviations. We first establish precise asymptotics for the moment generating function of L(n) and then show that there are precisely two large deviation principles, one concerning the behavior of the distribution of L(n) near its nominal value log1∕pn and one away from it. We discuss applications to inference and to logarithmic asymptotics of functionals of L(n).

We consider a risk model with two independent classes of insurance risks. We assume that the two independent claim counting processes are, respectively, Poisson and Sparre Andersen processes with generalized Erlang(2) claim inter-arrival times. The Laplace transform of the non-ruin probability is derived from a system of integro-differential equations. Explicit results can be obtained when the initial reserve is zero and the claim severity distributions of both classes belong to the Kn family of distributions. A relation between the ruin probability and the distribution of the supremum before ruin is identified. Finally, the Laplace transform of the non-ruin probability of a perturbed Sparre Andersen risk model with generalized Erlang(2) claim inter-arrival times is derived when the compound Poisson process converges weakly to a Wiener process.

We prove large deviation principles for solutions of small perturbations of SDEs in Hölder norms and Sobolev norms, where the SDEs have non-Markovian coefficients. As an application, we obtain a large deviation principle for solutions of anticipating SDEs in terms of (r, p) capacities on the Wiener space.

In this paper, we show weak convergence of the empirical eigenvalue distribution and of the weighted spectral measure of the Jacobi ensemble, when one or both parameters grow faster than the dimension n. In these cases, the limit measure is given by the Marchenko–Pastur law and the semicircle law, respectively. For the weighted spectral measure, we also prove large deviation principles under this scaling, where the rate functions are those of the other classical ensembles.

In this paper we shall investigate point processes generated by random variables of the form 〈gi (Ti ]), i=± 1, ± 2, … 〉, where 〈Ti, i= ± 1, … 〉 is the set of arrival times from a (not necessarily homogeneous) Poisson process or mixture of Poisson processes, and 〈gi, i = ± 1, … 〉 is an independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) or interchangeable sequence of random functions, independent of 〈Ti 〉.

In this paper we describe how the joint large deviation properties of traffic streams are altered when the traffic passes through a shared buffer according to a FCFS service policy with stochastic service capacity. We also consider the stationary case, proving large deviation principles for the state of the system in equilibrium and for departures from an equilibrium system.

We consider a class of tempered subordinators, namely a class of subordinators with one-dimensional marginal tempered distributions which belong to a family studied in [3]. The main contribution in this paper is a non-central moderate deviations result. More precisely we mean a class of large deviation principles that fill the gap between the (trivial) weak convergence of some non-Gaussian identically distributed random variables to their common law, and the convergence of some other related random variables to a constant. Some other minor results concern large deviations for the inverse of the tempered subordinators considered in this paper; actually, in some results, these inverse processes appear as random time-changes of other independent processes.

In this paper we consider an extension of the two-dimensional risk model introduced in Avram, Palmowski and Pistorius (2008a). To this end, we assume that there are two insurers. The first insurer is subject to claims arising from two independent compound Poisson processes. The second insurer, which can be viewed as a different line of business of the same insurer or as a reinsurer, covers a proportion of the claims arising from one of these two compound Poisson processes. We derive the Laplace transform of the time until ruin of at least one insurer when the claim sizes follow a general distribution. The surplus level of the first insurer when the second insurer is ruined first is discussed at the end in connection with some open problems.
