The large deviation principle for SPDEs in the Smoluchowskii-Kramers approximation
Abstract:
We study the limiting behavior of the large deviation action functional and of the quasi-potential for a stochastic semi-linear wave equation in presence of a small mass. We show that the small noise asymptotic (large deviation) is consistent with the small mass asymptotic (Smoluchowskii-Kramers approximation).
