Abstract

We consider the generating function {Mathematical expression} of the voltime of the Wiener sausage C?(t), which is the e-neighbourhood of the Wiener path in the time interval [0, t]. For ?<0, the limiting behavior for t?8, up to logarithmic equivalence, had been determined in a celebrated work of Donsker and Varadhan. For ?>0 it had been investigated by van den Berg and Tóth, but in contrast to the case ?<0, there is no simple expression for the exponential rate known. We determine the asymptotic behaviour of this rate for small and large ?. © 1984 Springer-Verlag.
