Abstract

In this paper, we will compute the Onsager-Machlup functional of an inhomogeneous uniformly elliptic diffusion process. This functional is very similar to the corresponding functional for homogeneous diffusions; indeed, the only difference come from the infinitesimal variation of the volume. We will also use the Onsager-Machlup functional to study small ball probability for weighted sup-norm of some inhomogeneous diffusion.
