Dynamical large deviations of reflected diffusions

Abstract

We study the large deviations of time-integrated observables of Markov diffusions that have perfectly reflecting boundaries. We discuss how the standard spectral approach to dynamical large deviations must be modified to account for such boundaries by imposing zero-current conditions, leading to Neumann or Robin boundary conditions, and how these conditions affect the driven process, which describes how large deviations arise in the long-time limit. The results are illustrated with the drifted Brownian motion and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process reflected at the origin. Other types of boundaries and applications are discussed.
