Abstract
The duality-related point of view of Hoeffding for i.i.d. large deviations is extended to the Markov case. This reconciles Koopmans' "function-analytic" view of Markovian large deviations with Boza's "information theoretic" view, and extends the validity of the latter to the not-necessarily-finite case.
