- ItemLarge Deviations of Continuous Regular Conditional Probabilities(New York, NY [u.a.] : Springer Science + Business Media B.V., 2016) van Zuijlen, W.We study product regular conditional probabilities under measures of two coordinates with respect to the second coordinate that are weakly continuous on the support of the marginal of the second coordinate. Assuming that there exists a sequence of probability measures on the product space that satisfies a large deviation principle, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the conditional probabilities under these measures to satisfy a large deviation principle. The arguments of these conditional probabilities are assumed to converge. A way to view regular conditional probabilities as a special case of product regular conditional probabilities is presented. This is used to derive conditions for large deviations of regular conditional probabilities. In addition, we derive a Sanov-type theorem for large deviations of the empirical distribution of the first coordinate conditioned on fixing the empirical distribution of the second coordinate.
- ItemQuenched large deviations for simple random walks on percolation clusters including long-range correlations(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Berger, Noam; Mukherjee, Chiranjib; Okamura, KazukiWe prove a quenched large deviation principle (LDP)for a simple random walk on a supercritical percolation cluster (SRWPC) on the lattice.The models under interest include classical Bernoulli bond and site percolation as well as models that exhibit long range correlations, like the random cluster model, the random interlacement and its vacant set and the level sets of the Gaussian free field. Inspired by the methods developed by Kosygina, Rezakhanlou and Varadhan ([KRV06]) for proving quenched LDP for elliptic diffusions with a random drift, and by Yilmaz ([Y08]) and Rosenbluth ([R06]) for similar results regarding elliptic random walks in random environment, we take the point of view of the moving particle and prove a large deviation principle for the quenched distribution of the pair empirical measures if the environment Markov chain in the non-elliptic case of SRWPC. Via a contraction principle, this reduces easily to a quenched LDP for the distribution of the mean velocity of the random walk and both rate functions admit explicit variational formulas. The main approach of our proofs are based on exploiting coercivity properties of the relative entropy in the context of convex variational analysis, combined with input from ergodic theory and invoking geometric properties of the percolation cluster under supercriticality.
- ItemLarge deviations for the capacity in dynamic spatial relay networks(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Hirsch, Christian; Jahnel, BenediktWe derive a large deviation principle for the space-time evolution of users in a relay network that are unable to connect due to capacity constraints. The users are distributed according to a Poisson point process with increasing intensity in a bounded domain, whereas the relays are positioned deterministically with given limiting density. The preceding work on capacity for relay networks by the authors describes the highly simplified setting where users can only enter but not leave the system. In the present manuscript we study the more realistic situation where users leave the system after a random transmission time. For this we extend the point process techniques developed in the preceding work thereby showing that they are not limited to settings with strong monotonicity properties.
- ItemSpace-time large deviations in capacity-constrained relay networks(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Hirsch, Christian; Jahnel, Benedikt; Patterson, RobertWe consider a single-cell network of random transmitters and fixed relays in a bounded domain of Euclidean space. The transmitters arrive over time and select one relay according to a spatially inhomogeneous preference kernel. Once a transmitter is connected to a relay, the connection remains and the relay is occupied. If an occupied relay is selected by another transmitters with later arrival time, this transmitter becomes frustrated. We derive a large deviation principle for the space-time evolution of frustrated transmitters in the high-density regime.
- ItemThe enhanced Sanov theorem and propagation of chaos(Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2017) Deuschel, Jean-Dominique; Friz, Peter K.; Maurelli, Mario; Slowik, MartinWe establish a Sanov type large deviation principle for an ensemble of interacting Brownian rough paths. As application a large deviations for the (-layer, enhanced) empirical measure of weakly interacting diffusions is obtained. This in turn implies a propagation of chaos result in a space of rough paths and allows for a robust analysis of the particle system and its McKean–Vlasov type limit, as shown in two corollaries.
- ItemDynamical large deviations of countable reaction networks under a weak reversibility condition(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Patterson, Robert I.A.; Renger, D.R. MichielA dynamic large deviations principle for a countable reaction network including coagulation-fragmentation models is proved. The rate function is represented as the infimal cost of the reaction fluxes and a minimiser for this variational problem is shown to exist. A weak reversibility condition is used to control the boundary behaviour and to guarantee a representation for the optimal fluxes via a Lagrange multiplier that can be used to construct the changes of measure used in standard tilting arguments. Reflecting the pure jump nature of the approximating processes, their paths are treated as elements of a BV function space.
