Abstract: This paper provides a large deviation principle for Non-Markovian, Brownian motion driven stochastic differential equations with random coefficients. Similar to Gao and Liu cite{GL}, this extends the corresponding results collected in Freidlin and Wentzell cite{FreidlinWentzell}. However, we use a different line of argument, adapting the PDE method of Fleming cite{Fleming} and Evans and Ishii cite{EvansIshii} to the path-dependent case, by using backward stochastic differential techniques. Similar to the Markovian case, we obtain a characterization of the action function as the unique bounded solution of a path-dependent version of the Eikonal equation. Finally, we provide an application to the short maturity asymptotics of the implied volatility surface in financial mathematics.
