Markov-bridge representation of ergodic large-deviation principles

Probability 2024-07-02 v1

Abstract

We revisit classic ergodic large-deviation principles: for the occupation measure (Donsker-Varadhan), and for the empirical flux. We show that these problems can be embedded into a more general, discrete-time framework. A conditioning and mixing argument then yields alternative expressions for these well-known rate functionals, formulated in terms of Markov bridges.
