Varadhan’s theorem for capacities
نویسنده
چکیده
Varadhan’s integration theorem, one of the corner stones of large-deviation theory, is generalized to the context of capacities. The theorem appears valid for any integral that obeys four linearity properties. We introduce a collection of integrals that have these properties. Of one of them, known as the Choquet integral, some continuity properties are established as well.

On the upper bound in Varadhan’s Lemma
In this paper, we generalize the upper bound in Varadhan’s Lemma. The standard formulation of Varadhan’s Lemma contains two important elements, namely an upper semicontinuous integrand and a rate function with compact sublevel sets. However, motivated by results from queueing theory, in this paper we do not assume that rate functions have compact sublevel sets. Moreover, we drop the assumption ...
متن کاملNegative Libor rates in the swap market model
We apply Stroock and Varadhan’s Support Theorem to show that there is a positive probability that within the Swap Market Model the implied Libor rates become negative in finite time.
متن کاملLarge Deviations for Two Scaled Diffusions
Mathematical Subject Classification (1991) 60F10 Summary. We formulate large deviations principle (LDP) for diffusion pair (X, ξ) = (X t , ξ ε t ), where first component has a small diffusion parameter while the second is ergodic Markovian process with fast time. More exactly, the LDP is established for (X, ν) with ν(dt, dz) being an occupation type measure corresponding to ξ t . In some sense ...
متن کاملFluctuations of Parabolic Equations with Large Random Potentials
In this paper, we present a fluctuation analysis of a type of parabolic equations with large, highly oscillatory, random potentials around the homogenization limit. With a Feynman-Kac representation, the Kipnis-Varadhan’s method, and a quantitative martingale central limit theorem, we derive the asymptotic distribution of the rescaled error between heterogeneous and homogenized solutions under ...
متن کاملHeat Kernel Comparison on Alexandrov Spaces with Curvature Bounded Below
In this paper the comparison result for the heat kernel on Riemannian manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bound by Cheeger and Yau [CY81] is extended to locally compact path metric spaces (X, d) with lower curvature bound in the sense of Alexandrov and with sufficiently fast asymptotic decay of the volume of small geodesic balls. As corollaries we recover Varadhan’s short time asymptotic formu...
