Large deviation principle for Poisson driven SDEs in epidemic models

Abstract

We consider a general class of epidemic models obtained by applying a random time change to a collection of Poisson processes and we show the large deviation principle for such models. We generalize to a more general situation the approach followed by Dolgoaschinnykh [3] in the case of the SIR epidemic model. Thanks to an assumption which is satisfied in many examples, we simplify the recent work by P. Kratz and E. Pardoux [8].
