For a class of Markov processes (in continuous or discrete time) we show that if the full large deviation holds for normalized occupation time measures L t ( w , ˙) with some rate function J , then the lower semicontinuous regularization of J must agree with the rate function I introduced by M. D. Donsker and S. R. S. Varadhan. As a consequence we show that for processes such as Brownian motion the full large deviation principle for L t ( w , ˙) cannot hold with any rate function.
