Abstract: | ![]() We consider a Skorohod map which takes paths in to paths which stay in the positive orthant . We let be the domain of definition of . A convex and lower semi-continuous function and a set are given. We are concerned with the calculation of the infimum of the value for t ⩾ 0 and absolutely continuous subject to the conditions and . We show that such minimization problems characterize large deviation asymptotics of tail probabilities of the steady-state distribution of certain reflected processes. We approximate the infimum by a sequence of finite-dimensional minimization problems. This approximation allows to formulate an algorithm for the calculation of the infimum and to derive analytical bounds for its value. Several applications are discussed including large deviations of generalized processor sharing and large deviations of heavily loaded queueing networks. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
