Abstract
We combine the Donsker and Varadhan large deviation principle (l.d.p) for
the occupation measure of a Markov process with certain results of Deuschel and
Stroock, to obtain the l.d.p. for unbounded functionals. Our approach relies on
the concept of exponential tightness and on the Puhalskii theorem. Three
illustrative examples are considered.
