The spaceX in Section 2 is the space of all nitely additive, nonnegative, mass one
measures onE. Every element in X has the following unique decomposition:
=ac+s+p;
wherep is a pure nite additive measure, ac ands are both countably additive with
ac.0; s⊥0. A nonnegative nite additive measure is called pure nite additive if
there is no nonzero, nonnegative, countably additive measure that is less than it. An element in X is a probability measure if and only if p(E) = 0. Thus X is strictly
bigger thanM1(E) (even though every element ofX can be associated to a continuous
linear functional on C([0;1])). Thus, we need to change the space M1(E) in Theorem 2:4 to X, and the rate function is given by
I() =
H(0|ac) if .0; 6∈M1(E);
H(0|) if .0; ∈M1(E);
∞ else:
Theorems 2:5 and 3:4 should be modied accordingly. All calculations about the innite dimensional LDP hold true for probability-valued paths.
We thank W. Stannat for pointing out the deciency.
