The theory of large deviations for jump Markov processes has been generally proved only when jump rates are bounded below, away from zero [4, 8, 12]. Yet various applications of interest do not satisfy this condition. We describe several classes of models where jump rates diminish to zero in a Lipschitz continuous way. Under appropriate conditions, we prove that the sample path large deviations...
