Abstract
When taking the long term time average of the occupation measure of a Markov process, traditionally the uniform time average has been used, In this paper, we derive results for more general average shapes, such as the exponential discount. We obtain large-deviation results and ev en stronger density asymptotics for small rates of discount. A strong law and a central limit theorem are also proved.
