Abstract:
We consider a class of diffusion processes on Euclidean spaces, with the drift terms not weaker than linear order. We show large deviation principles for empirical distributions of positions for pinned processes under some explicit conditions in terms of the coefficients of the generator. Such a problem was discussed by Donsker-Varadhan \cite{Donsker-VaradhanIII} under some implicit conditions.

Keywords: large deviation principle, diffusion process, Euclidean space
