Abstract: We study a large deviation functional of density fluctuation by analyzing stochastic non-linear diffusion equations driven by the difference between the densities fixed at the boundaries. By using a fundamental equality that yields the fluctuation theorem, we first relate the large deviation functional with a minimization problem. We then develop a perturbation method for solving the problem. In particular, by performing an expansion with respect to the average current, we derive the lowest order expression for the deviation from the local equilibrium part. This expression implies that the deviation is written as the space-time integration of the excess entropy production rate during the most probable process of generating the fluctuation that corresponds to the argument of the large deviation functional.
