Uniform large deviation principles of fractional stochastic reaction-diffusion equations on unbounded domains

Abstract

This paper is concerned with uniform large deviation principles of fractional stochastic reaction-diffusion equations driven by additive noise defined on unbounded domains where the solution operator is non-compact and hence the result of [32] does not apply. The nonlinear drift is assumed to be locally Lipschitz continnous instead of being globally Lipschitz continuous. We first prove a large deviation principle for a fractional linear stochastic equation by the weak convergence method, and then show a uniform large deviation principle for the fractional nonlinear equation by a uniform contraction principle, despite the Sobolev embeddings are non-compact in unbounded domains. The result of the paper regrading the uniform large deviations can be applied to investigate the exit time and exit place of the solutions of the stochastic reaction-diffusion equations from a given domain in the phase space.
