A uniform estimate for rate functions in large deviations

Abstract: Given H"older continuous functions

f

and

p s i

on a sub-shift of finite type

S i g m a_{A}^{+}

such that

p s i

is not cohomologous to a constant, the classical large deviation principle holds (cite{OP}, cite{Kif}, cite{Y}) with a rate function

I_{p} s i g e q 0

such that

I_{p} s i (p) = 0

iff

p = i n t p s i, d m u

, where

m u = m u_{f}

is the equilibrium state of

f

. In this paper we derive a uniform estimate from below for

I_{p} s i

for

p

outside an interval containing

i l d e p s i = i n t p s i, d m u

, which depends only on the sub-shift, the function

f

, the norm

| p s i |_{i} n f t y

, the H"older constant of

p s i

and the integral

i l d e p s i

. Similar results can be derived in the same way e.g. for Axiom A diffeomorphisms on basic sets.
