Transportation cost-information inequalities and applications to random dynamical systems and diffusions
We first give a characterization of the L^1-transportation cost-information
inequality on a metric space and next find some appropriate sufficient
condition to transportation cost-information inequalities for dependent
sequences. Applications to random dynamical systems and diffusions are studied.Comment: Published by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics

Moderate deviations for Markov chains with atom
AbstractWe obtain in this paper moderate deviations for functional empirical processes of general state space valued Markov chains with atom under weak conditions: a tail condition on the first time of return to the atom, and usual conditions on the class of functions. Our proofs rely on the regeneration method and sharp conditions issued of moderate deviations of independent random variables. We prove our result in the nonseparable case for additive and unbounded functionals of Markov chains, extending the work of de Acosta and Chen (J. Theoret. Probab. (1998) 75–110) and Wu (Ann. Probab. (1995) 420–445). One may regard it as the analog for the Markov chains of the beautiful characterization of moderate deviations for i.i.d. case of Ledoux 1992. Some applications to Markov chains with a countable state space are considered
