The problem of guessing a random string is revisited. A close relation between guessing and compression is first established. Then it is shown that if the sequence of distributions of the information spectrum satisfies the large deviation…

We prove by counterexample that a large deviation principle established by Chen and Feng [{\em Comm. Statist. Theory Methods} {\bf 45} (2016), 400--412] in the framework of sublinear expectations is incorrect. That implies that the rate…

Let $(\mu_{\alpha})$ be a net of Radon sub-probability measures on the real line, and $(t_{\alpha})$ be a net in $]0,+\infty[$ converging to 0. Assuming that the generalized log-moment generating function $L(\lambda)$ exists for all…

In open quantum systems with strong symmetries, the global scaled cumulant generating function (SCGF) is generally nonanalytic, so the G\"artner-Ellis theorem cannot directly yield the genuine large-deviation rate function. To address this…

Establishing a Large Deviation Principle (LDP) proves to be a powerful result for a vast number of stochastic models in many application areas of probability theory. The key object of an LDP is the large deviations rate function, from which…

We consider large deviations of empirical measures of diffusion processes. In a first part, we present conditions to obtain a large deviations principle (LDP) for a precise class of unbounded functions. This provides an analogue to the…

We present a general technique for computing large deviations of nonlinear functions of independent Bernoulli random variables. The method is applied to compute the large deviation rate functions for subgraph counts in sparse random graphs.…

We derive a large deviation principle for families of random variables in the basin of attraction of spectrally positive stable distributions by proving a uniform version of the Tauberian theorem for Laplace-Stieltjes transforms. The main…

We prove a large deviation result for a random symmetric n x n matrix with independent identically distributed entries to have a few eigenvalues of size n. If the spectrum S survives when the matrix is rescaled by a factor of n, it can only…

In this paper, we study the large deviation principle (LDP) for two types (Type I and Type II) of multiplicative Ising models. For Types I and II, the explicit formulas for the free energy functions and the associated rate functions are…

We consider the large deviations associated with the empirical mean of independent and identically distributed random variables under a subexponential moment condition. We show that non-trivial deviations are observable at a subexponential…

We calculate the large deviations for the length of the longest alternating subsequence and for the length of the longest increasing subsequence in a uniformly random permutation that avoids a pattern of length three. We treat all six…

In [11] it has been proved some variational formula on the Legendre-Fenchel transform of the cumulant generating function (the Cram\'er function) of Rademacher series with coefficients in the space $\ell^1$. In this paper we show a…

The Galton--Watson process is the simplest example of a branching process. The relationship between the offspring distribution, and, when the extinction occurs almost surely, the distribution of the total progeny is well known. In this…

We prove general nonlinear large deviation estimates similar to Chatterjee-Dembo's original bounds except that we do not require any second order smoothness. Our approach relies on convex analysis arguments and is valid for a broad class of…

In this paper, we prove a large deviation principle of Freidlin-Wentzell's type for the multivalued stochastic differential equations. As an application, we derive a functional iterated logarithm law for the solutions of multivalued…

We consider two Ito equations that evolve on different time scales. The equations are fully coupled in the sense that all coefficients may depend on both the "slow" and the "fast" processes and the diffusion terms may be correlated. The…

This paper investigates the large deviation problem in the sample path space of the nearest-neighbor random walks on regular trees. We establish the sample path large deviation principle for the law of the distance from a nearest random…

The aim of this study is tree-fold. First, we investigate the thermodynamics of the Ising models with respect to 2-multiple Hamiltonians. This extends the previous results of [Chazotte and Redig, Electron. J. Probably., 2014] to…
