Abstract

This paper develops large deviation estimates for nonlinear filtering with discontinuity in the drift of the signal and small noise intensities in both the signal and the observations. A variational approach related to Mortensen’s optimization problem is utilized in our analysis. The discontinuity of the drift in the signal naturally arises in many applications, including modeling communication channels with a “hard limiter”. Our results extend the work of Reddy et al. (2022), in which smooth functions were used. To address the discontinuous in the drift of the signal, relaxed controls are used to study the asymptotic fraction of time the controlled signals spend in each half-space divided by the discontinuity hyperplane. Large deviation estimates are established by the weak convergence method using the stochastic control representation for positive functionals of Brownian motions and Laplace asymptotics of the Kallianpur–Striebel formula.
