Consider the density of the solution X(t, x) of a stochastic heat equation
with small noise at a fixed t is an element of [0, T], x is an element of [
0, 1]. In this paper we study the asymptotics of this density as the noise
vanishes. A kind of Taylor expansion in powers of the noise parameter is ob
tained, The coefficients and the residue of the expansion are explicitly ca
lculated. In order to obtain this result some type of exponential estimates
of tail probabilities of the difference between the approximating process
and the limit one is proved. Also a suitable iterative local integration by
parts formula is developed.
