Large deviation for two-time-scale stochastic burgers equation

Abstract

A Freidlin–Wentzell type large deviation principle is established for stochastic partial differential equations with slow and fast time-scales, where the slow component is a one-dimensional stochastic Burgers equation with small noise and the fast component is a stochastic reaction-diffusion equation. Our approach is via the weak convergence criterion developed in [A. Budhiraja and P. Dupuis, A variational representation for positive functionals of infinite dimensional Brownian motion, Probab. Math. Statist. 20 (2000) 39–61].
