Abstract

We derive a large-deviation principle for super-Brownian motion with immigration, where the immigration is governed by the Lebesgue measure. We show that the speed function is t 1/2 for d = 1, t/logt for d = 2 and t for d ≥ 3, which is different from that of the occupation-time process counterpart (without immigration) and the model of random immigration.
