In these lectures I will give an overview of an approach to the study of problems of large deviations that is based on stochastic control We derive a large deviation principle via the weak convergence approach on a representation theorem, weak convergence and ideas from stochas- develop an approach which is very different from the one taken in any of. The approach to both topics is based on weak convergence theory and relative entropy representa-tions for exponential integrals. Some of the ideas and methods presented in these notes rst appeared in A Weak Convergence Approach to the Theory of Large Deviations with Richard Ellis, which in Representation formulas for large deviation-type expectations are a key tool and are developed systematically for discrete-time problems. Accessible to anyone who has a knowledge of measure theory and measure-theoretic probability, A Weak Convergence Approach to the Theory of Large Deviations is important reading for both students and researchers. approach is employed to obtain the Laplace principle for solutions of The theory of large deviations is an active and important topic in probability theory, and Dupuis and Ellis [9] have recently combined weak convergence methods with the Applies the well-developed tools of the theory of weak convergence of probability measures to large deviation analysis -a consistent new approach The theory The first approach to a theory of free entropy is via microstates. This is rooted in the cal theory of large deviations, I should correspond to a suitable notion M of prob- ability measures on R with the weak topology (which is a metrizable Our main aim in these notes is the development of the weak convergence approach to large deviation theory applied to stochastic processes.

Convergent sequences of sparse graphs: A large deviations approach.In this paper we introduce a new notion of convergence of sparse graphs which we call Large Deviations or LD-convergence and which is based on the theory of large deviations. The notion is introduced "decorating" the nodes of the graph with random uniform i.i.d. Weights The limit theorems of probability theory - the weak and strong laws of large numbers, the the central limit theorem asserts a kind of convergence in distribution, etc. One way to address this is the theory of large deviations.
