Large Deviations for Slow-Fast Mean-Field Diffusions (2501.11874v1)

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the large deviations for a class of slow-fast mean-field diffusions, which extends some existing results to the case where the laws of fast process are also involved in the slow component. Due to the perturbations of fast process and its time marginal law, one cannot prove the large deviations based on verifying the powerful weak convergence criterion directly. To overcome this problem, we employ the functional occupation measure, which combined with the notion of the viable pair and the controls of feedback form to characterize the limits of controlled sequences and justify the upper and lower bounds of Laplace principle. As a consequence, the explicit representation formula of the rate function for large deviations is also presented.
