The following elegant one-sided large deviation result is given by S. V. Nagaev in [2].Theorem 0. Suppose that {Sn,n ≤ 0} is a random walk whose increments Xi are independent copies of X, where(X) = 0 andPr{X > x} ̃ x−αL(x) as x→ + ∞,and where 1 < α < ∞ and L is slowly varying at ∞. Then for any ε > 0 and uniformly in x ≥ εnPr{Sn > x} ̃ n Pr{X > x} as n→∞.It is the purpose of this note to point out that for lattice-valued random walks there is an analogous local limit theorem.

Let X={Xi,i≥1} be a sequence of real valued random variables, S0=0 and Sk=∑i=1kXi  (k≥1). Let σ={σ(x),x∈Z} be a sequence of real valued random variables which are independent of X’s. Denote by Kn=∑k=0nσ(⌊Sk⌋)  (n≥0) Kesten-Spitzer random walk in random scenery, where ⌊a⌋ means the unique integer satisfying ⌊a⌋≤a<⌊a⌋+1. It is assumed that σ’s belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law with index 0<β<2. In this paper, by employing conditional argument, we investigate large deviation inequalities, some sufficient conditions for Chover-type laws of the iterated logarithm and the cluster set for random walk in random scenery Kn. The obtained results supplement to some corresponding results in the literature.

AbstractFree analogues of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality compare the relative free Fisher information with the relative free entropy. In the present paper such an inequality is obtained for measures on the circle. The method is based on a random matrix approximation procedure, and a large deviation result concerning the eigenvalue distribution of special unitary matrices is applied and discussed.

Mixed-level orthogonal arrays are basic structures in experimental design. We develop three algorithms that compute Rao- and Gilbert-Varshamov-type bounds for mixed-level orthogonal arrays. The computational complexity of the terms involved in the original combinatorial representations of these bounds can grow fast as the parameters of the arrays increase and this justifies the construction of these algorithms. The first is a recursive algorithm that computes the bounds exactly, the second is based on an asymptotic analysis, and the third is a simulation algorithm. They are all based on the representation of the combinatorial expressions that appear in the bounds as expectations involving a symmetric random walk. The Markov property of the underlying random walk gives the recursive formula to compute the expectations. A large deviation (LD) analysis of the expectations provides the asymptotic algorithm. The asymptotically optimal importance sampling (IS) of the same expectation provides the simulation algorithm. Both the LD analysis and the construction of the IS algorithm use a representation of these problems as a sequence of stochastic optimal control problems converging to a limit calculus of a variations problem. The construction of the IS algorithm uses a recently discovered method of using subsolutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations associated with the limit problem.

Symmetric random walks can be arranged to converge to a Wiener process in the area of normal deviation. However, random walks and Wiener processes have, in general, different asymptotics of the large deviation probabilities. The action functionals for random-walks and Wiener processes are compared in this paper. The correction term is calculated. Exit problem and stochastic resonance for random-walk-type perturbation are also considered and compared with the white-noise-type perturbation.
