A feature of the book is the systematic use of variational representations for quantities of interest such as normalized logarithms of probabilities and expected values. By characterizing a large deviation principle in terms of Laplace asymptotics, one converts the proof of large deviation limits into the convergence of variational representations. These features are illustrated though their application to a broad range of discrete and continuous time models, including stochastic partial differential equations, processes with discontinuous statistics, occupancy models, and many others. The tools used in the large deviation analysis also turn out to be useful in understanding Monte Carlo schemes for the numerical approximation of the same probabilities and expected values. This connection is illustrated through the design and analysis of importance sampling and splitting schemes for rare event estimation. The book assumes a solid background in weak convergence of probability measures and stochastic analysis, and is suitable for advanced graduate students, postdocs and researchers. 410 0$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Modelling,$x2199-3130 ;$v94 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aApplied mathematics 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aNumerical analysis 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aMathematical and Computational Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11006 606 $aNumerical Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14050 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aApplied mathematics. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 0$aNumerical analysis. 615 14$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aMathematical and Computational Engineering. 615 24$aNumerical Analysis. 676 $a511.4 700 $aBudhiraja$b Amarjit$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0782120 702 $aDupuis$b Paul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349346003321 996 $aAnalysis and Approximation of Rare Events$92513905 997 $aUNINA
