Download or read book Large Deviations, Free Energy Functional and Quasi-Potential for a Mean Field Model of Interacting Diffusions written by Donald Andrew Dawson and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1989 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large deviations for an exchangeable system of reversible diffusions in [double-struck]R[superscript italic]d are investigated in the limit when the number of particles tends to infinity with the objective of providing a methodology to study dynamical phase transitions, tunnelling and metastability for the class of mean field models in statistical physics.
