Abstract

We generalise the Gärtner-Ellis theorem of large deviations theory. Our results allow us to derive large deviation type results in stochastic optimal control from the convergence of generalised logarithmic moment generating functions. They rely on the characterisation of the uniqueness of the solutions of max-plus linear equations. We give an illustration for a simple investment model, in which logarithmic moment generating functions represent risk-sensitive values.
