Abstract
We prove a sample-path large deviation principle (LDP) with sublinear speed for unbounded functionals of certain Markov chains induced by the Lindley recursion. The LDP holds in the Skorokhod space [Formula: see text] equipped with the [Formula: see text] topology. Our technique hinges on a suitable decomposition of the Markov chain in terms of regeneration cycles. Each regeneration cycle denotes the area accumulated during the busy period of the reflected random walk. We prove a large deviation principle for the area under the busy period of the Markov random walk, and we show that it exhibits a heavy-tailed behavior.Funding: The research of B. Zwart and M. Bazhba is supported by the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek [Grant 639.033.413]. The research of J. Blanchet is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) [Grants 1915967, 1820942, and 1838576] as well as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [Grant N660011824028].

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
