Applies the well-developed tools of the theory of weak convergenceof probability measures to large deviation analysis--a consistentnew approach
The theory of large deviations, one of the most dynamic topics inprobability today, studies rare events in stochastic systems. Thenonlinear nature of the theory contributes both to its richness anddifficulty. This innovative text demonstrates how to employ thewell-established linear techniques of weak convergence theory toprove large deviation results. Beginning with a step-by-stepdevelopment of the approach, the book skillfully guides readersthrough models of increasing complexity covering a wide variety ofrandom variable-level and process-level problems. Representationformulas for large deviation-type expectations are a key tool andare developed systematically for discrete-time problems.
Accessible to anyone who has a knowledge of measure theory andmeasure-theoretic probability, A Weak Convergence Approach to theTheory of Large Deviations is important reading for both studentsand researchers.

This book presents a new and widely applicable method to the theory of large deviations. This approach allows large deviation problems, which are nonlinear, to be reduced to problems that are essentially linear in nature (weak convergence improbability). The authors develop the weak convergence method from scratch, illustrate via several basic examples and then apply it to a number of sophisticated models. Much of the material in the text is being published for the first time.
