Abstract: This paper establishes a Freidlin-Wentzell large deviation principle for stochastic differential equations(SDEs) under locally weak monotonicity conditions and Lyapunov conditions. We illustrate the main result of the paper by showing that it can be applied to SDEs with non-Lipschitzian coefficients, which can not be covered in the existing literature. These include the interesting biological models like stochastic Duffing-van der Pol oscillator model, stochastic SIR model, etc.


In the paper, the authors obtain a large deviation principle for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with non-Lipschitzian coefficients satisfying some locally weak monotonicity conditions and Lyapunov conditions. The proof relies on the weak convergence approach introduced by \textit{A. Budhiraja} et al. [Ann. Probab. 36, No. 4, 1390--1420 (2008; Zbl 1155.60024); Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Probab. Stat. 47, No. 3, 725--747 (2011; Zbl 1231.60018)]. As an application of the main result, the authors consider some biological models such as the stochastic Duffing-van der Pol oscillator equations (and their generalization, see [\textit{S. Cox} et al., ``Local Lipschitz continuity in the initial value and strong completeness for nonlinear stochastic differential equations, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1309.5595}]), a stochastic SIR model from epidemiology and stochastic Lotka-Volterra systems from population dynamics.
