AbstractWe prove a sharp large deviation principle concerning intervals shrinking with sub-exponential speed for certain models involving the Poincaré map related to a Markov family for an Axiom A flow restricted to a basic set $\Lambda $ satisfying some additional regularity assumptions.

We establish the large deviation principle (LDP) for stochastic flows of interacting Brownian motions. In particular, we consider smoothly correlated flows, coalescing flows and Brownian motion stopped at a hitting moment.

The tail behaviour of the limit of the normalized population size in the simple supercritical branching process, W, is studied. Most of the results concern those cases when a tail of the distribution function of W decays exponentially quickly. In essence, knowledge of the behaviour of transforms can be combined with some ‘large-deviation' theory to get detailed information on the oscillation of the distribution function of W near zero or at infinity. In particular we show how an old result of Harris (1948) on the asymptotics of the moment-generating function of W translates to tail behaviour.

A large deviation theorem of the Cramér–Petrov type and a ranking limit theorem of Loève are used to derive an approximation for the statisticaldistribution of the failure time of fibrous materials. For that, fibrousmaterials are modeled as a series of independent and identical bundles of parallel filaments and the asymptotic distribution of their failure time is determined in terms of statistical characteristics of the individual filaments, as both the number of filaments in each bundle and the number of bundles in the chain grow large simultaneously. While keeping the numbernof filaments in each bundle fixed and increasing only the chain lengthkleads to a Weibull limiting distribution for the failure time, letting both increase in such a way that logk(n)= o(n), we show that the limit distribution isfor. Since fibrous materials which are both long and have many filaments prevail, the result is of importance in the materials science area since refined approximations to failure-time distributions can be achieved.

We derive a large deviation principle for occupation time of super α-stable process in ℝd with d > 2α. The decay of tail probabilities is shown to be exponential and the rate function is characterized. Our result can be considered as a counterpart of Lee's work on large deviations for occupation times of super-Brownian motion in ℝd for dimension d > 4 (see Ref. 10).

Sanov's Theorem states that the sequence of empirical measures associated with a sequence of i.d.d. random variables satisfies the large deviation principle (LDP) in the weak topology with rate function given by a relative entropy. We present a derivative which allows one to establish LDPs for symmetric functions of many i.d.d. random variables under the condition that (i) a law of large numbers holds whatever the underlying distribution and (ii) the functions are uniformly Lipschitz. The heuristic (of the title) is that the LDP follows from (i) provided the functions are ‘sufficiently smooth’. As an application, we obtain large deviations results for the stochastic bin-packing problem.

This paper may be read independently of Baxter and Williams [1], hereinafter denoted by [BW1].As in [BW1], we are mainly concerned with discounted additive functionals. We find that the large-deviation behaviour of the average depends on the precise average used. We derive, in certain cases, a link (but not equality) between the Cesàro average and Abel average limits, and would expect that other averages would produce other limiting behaviours. We have focused on the exponentially discounted (Abel average) case, both because of its tractability and because of its frequent appearance in decision/control problems and models of financial markets. We do give in subsection (e) the promised ‘excursion’ treatment of symmetry characterizations of the type announced in [BW1]; and this new treatment is simpler, more illuminating and more general. First, however, we focus attention on a different kind of asymptotic behaviour from that studied in [BW1], and on differential equations for exact results.

Shot-noise processes are used in applied probability to model a variety of physical systems in, for example, teletraffic theory, insurance and risk theory, and in the engineering sciences. In this paper we prove a large deviation principle for the sample-paths of a general class of multidimensional state-dependent Poisson shot-noise processes. The result covers previously known large deviation results for one-dimensional state-independent shot-noise processes with light tails. We use the weak convergence approach to large deviations, which reduces the proof to establishing the appropriate convergence of certain controlled versions of the original processes together with relevant results on existence and uniqueness.
