Abstract
Large deviations principles for a family of scalar 1 + 1 dimensional conservative stochastic PDEs (viscous conservation laws) are investigated, in the limit of jointly vanishing noise and viscosity. A first large deviations principle is obtained in a space of Young measures. The associated rate functional vanishes on a wide set, the so-called set of measure-valued solutions to the limiting conservation law. A second order large deviations principle is therefore investigated, however, this can be only partially proved. The second order rate functional provides a generalization for non-convex fluxes of the functional introduced by Jensen and Varadhan in a stochastic particles system setting.
