Abstract: The one-dimensional SDE with non Lipschitz diffusion coefficient $d{X}_t=b(X_t)dt+sigma{X}_t^{gamma}d{B}_t,X_0=x,gamma<1$ is widely studied in mathematical finance. Several works have proposed asymptotic analysis of densities and implied volatilities in models involving instances of this equation, based on a careful implementation of saddle-point methods and (essentially) the explicit knowledge of Fourier transforms. Recent research on tail asymptotics for heat kernels [J-D. Deuschel, P.~Friz, A.~Jacquier, and S.~Violante. Marginal density expansions for diffusions and stochastic volatility, part II: Applications. 2013, arxiv:1305.6765] suggests to work with the rescaled variable $X^{varepsilon}:=varepsilo{n}^{1/(1-gamma)}X$: while allowing to turn a space asymptotic problem into a small-$varepsilon$ problem with fixed terminal point, the process $X^{varepsilon}$ satisfies a SDE in Wentzell--Freidlin form (i.e. with driving noise $varepsilondB$). We prove a pathwise large deviation principle for the process $X^{varepsilon}$ as $varepsilono0$. As it will become clear, the limiting ODE governing the large deviations admits infinitely many solutions, a non-standard situation in the Wentzell--Freidlin theory. As for applications, the $varepsilon$-scaling allows to derive exact log-asymptotics for path functionals of the process: while on the one hand the resulting formulae are confirmed by the CIR-CEV benchmarks, on the other hand the large deviation approach (i) applies to equations with a more general drift term and (ii) potentially opens the way to heat kernel analysis for higher-dimensional diffusions involving such an SDE as a component.
