We study a one-dimensional particle system in which particles
travel deterministically in between stochastic collisions. As the total number
of particles tends to infinity, the empirical density converges to a solution
of a discrete Boltzmann equation. We establish the large deviation principle
for the convergence with a rate function that is given by a variational
formula. Some of the properties of the rate function are discussed and a
nonvariational expression for the rate function is given.
