Abstract

Taking into account some likeness of moderate deviations (MD) and central limit theorems (CLT), we develop an approach, which made a good showing in CLT, for MD analysis of a family Stκ = 1/t κ0t H(Xs)ds, t → ∞ for an ergodic diffusion process Xt, provided that 0.5 < κ < 1, and appropriate H. We use a well known decomposition with "corrector": 1/tκ0t H(Xs)ds = corrector + 1/tκ Mtmartingale . and show that, as in the CLT analysis, the corrector is negligible, and the main contribution in the MD brings the family "1/tκM t, t → ∞." Starting from Freidlin, [7], and finishing by Wu's papers [33]-[37], in the MD study Laplace's transform dominates. In the paper, we replace this technique by "Stochastic exponential" one, enabling to formulate the MDP conditions in terms of "drift-diffusion" parameters and H. However, a verification of these conditions heavily depends on a specificity of a diffusion model. That is why the paper is named "Examples ...".
