Large deviation principle for the streams and the maximal flow in first passage percolation
Abstract
We consider the standard first passage percolation model in the rescaled lattice for and a bounded domain in . We denote by and two disjoint subsets of representing respectively the source and the sink, i.e., where the water can enter in and escape from . A maximal stream is a vector measure that describes how the maximal amount of fluid can enter through and spreads in . Under some assumptions on and , we already know a law of large number for . The sequence converges almost surely to the set of solutions of a continuous deterministic problem of maximal stream in an anisotropic network. We aim here to derive a large deviation principle for streams and deduce by contraction principle the existence of a rate function for the upper large deviations of the maximal flow in .
