Large Deviations for Regime-Switching Diffusions with Infinite Delay

Focusing on a class of regime-switching functional diffusion processes with infinite delay, a Freidlin–Wentzell type large deviations principle (LDP) is established by using an extended contraction principle and an exponential approximation argument under a local one-side Lipschitz condition. The result is new even for functional diffusion processes with infinite delay without regime-switching. Several interesting examples are given to illustrate our results.
