Let (μα) be a net of Radon sub-probability measures on R, and (tα) be a net in ]0,+∞[ converging to 0. Assuming that the generalized log-moment generating function L(λ) exists for all λ in a nonempty open interval G, we give conditions on the left or right derivatives of L|G, implying vague (and thus narrow when 0 ∈ G) large deviations. The rate function (which can be nonconvex) is obtained as ...
