Abstract: We study rare event simulations of semimartingale reflecting Brownian motions (SRBMs) in an orthant. The rare event of interest is that a d-dimensional positive recurrent SRBM enters the set Bn=zinmathbbRd:sumk=1dzk=n before reaching a small neighborhood of the origin as noinfty. We show that under a proper scaling and some regularity conditions, the probability of interest satisfies a large deviation principle. We then construct a subsolution to the variational problem for our rare event, and based on this subsolution construct particle based simulation algorithms to estimate the probability of the rare event. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is stable and theoretically superior to standard Monte Carlo for a broad class of positive recurrent SRBMs.
