Large Deviations for One Dimensional Diffusions with a Strong Drift
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive a large deviation principle which describes the behaviour of a diffusion process with additive noise under the influence of a strong drift. Our main result is a large deviation theorem for the distribution of the end-point of a one-dimensional diffusion with drift θb where b is a drift function and θ a real number, when θ converges to ∞. It transpires that the problem is governed by a rate function which consists of two parts: one contribution comes from the Freidlin-Wentzell theorem whereas a second term reflects the cost for a Brownian motion to stay near a equilibrium point of the drift over long periods of time.

Large deviations for diffusions with time periodic drift and stochastic resonance
We consider potential type dynamical systems in finite dimensions with two meta-stable states. They are subject to two sources of perturbation: a slow external periodic perturbation of period T and a small Gaussian random perturbation of intensity ε, and therefore mathematically described as weakly time inhomogeneous diffusion processes. A system is in stochastic resonance provided the small no...
متن کاملImpulse and absolutely continuous ergodic control of one-dimensional Itô diffusions
We consider a problem that combines impulse control with absolutely continuous control of the drift of a general one-dimensional Itô diffusion. The objective of the control problem is to minimise an ergodic or long-term average criterion that penalises both deviations of the state process from a given nominal point and the use of control effort. Our analysis completely characterises the optimal...
متن کاملLarge Deviations for Diffusions Interacting Through Their Ranks
We prove a large deviations principle (LDP) for systems of diffusions (particles) interacting through their ranks when the number of particles tends to infinity. We show that the limiting particle density is given by the unique solution of the appropriate McKean-Vlasov equation and that the corresponding cumulative distribution function evolves according to a nondegenerate generalized porous me...
متن کاملLimits of Diffusions
In this paper we look at the properties of limits of a sequence of real valued inhomogeneous diffusions. When convergence is only in the sense of finite-dimensional distributions then the limit does not have to be a diffusion. However, we show that as long as the drift terms satisfy a Lipschitz condition and the limit is continuous in probability, then it will lie in a class of processes that w...
متن کاملLarge deviations for singular and degenerate diffusion models in adaptive evolution
In the course of Darwinian evolution of a population, punctualism is an important phenomenon whereby long periods of genetic stasis alternate with short periods of rapid evolutionary change. This paper provides a mathematical interpretation of punctualism as a sequence of change of basin of attraction for a diffusion model of the theory of adaptive dynamics. Such results rely on large deviation...
