Abstract
We present here two examples of a large deviations principle where the rate function is not strictly convex. This is motivated by an example from mathematical finance, and adds a new item to the zoology of non strictly convex large deviations. For one of these examples, we also show that the rate function of the Cramer-type of large deviations coincides with that of the Freidlin-Wentzell when contraction principles are applied.
