摘要：
In this paper we establish a large deviations principle for the non-Gaussian stochastic reaction-diffusion equation (SRDE) partial derivative(t)upsilon(epsilon) = L(upsilon)epsilon + f(x, upsilon(epsilon)) + epsilon-sigma(x, upsilon(epsilon))W(tx) as a random perturbation of the deterministic RDE partial derivative(t)upsilon-0 = L-upsilon-0 + f(x, upsilon-0). Here the space variable takes values on the unit circle S1 and L is a strongly-elliptic second-order operator with constant coefficients. The functions f and sigma are sufficiently regular so that there is a unique solution to the above SRDE for any continuous initial condition. We also assume that there are positive constants m and M such that m less-than-or-equal-to sigma(x, y) less-than-or-equal-to M for all x in S 1 and all y in R. The perturbation W(tx) is the formal derivative of a Brownian sheet. It is known that if the initial condition is continuous, then the solution will also be continuous, and moreover, if the initial condition is assumed to be Holder continuous of exponent-kappa for some 0 < kappa < 1/2, then the solution will be Holder continuous of exponent kappa/2 as a function of (t, x). In this paper we establish the large deviations principle for upsilon(epsilon) in the Holder norm of exponent kappa/2 when the initial condition is Holder continuous of exponent-kappa for any 0 < kappa < 1/2, and when the initial condition is assumed only to be continuous, we establish the large deviations principle for upsilon(epsilon) in the supremum norm. Moreover, we prove that these large deviations principles are uniform with respect to the initial condition.
