Interpolation between logarithmic Sobolev and Poincare inequalities

Modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and transportation inequalities

Weak logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and entropic convergence

In this paper we introduce and study a weakened form of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in connection with various others functional inequalities (weak Poincaré inequalities, general Beckner inequalities...). We also discuss the quantitative behaviour of relative entropy along a symmetric diffusion semi-group. In particular, we exhibit an example where Poincaré inequality can not be used for d...

Isoperimetry and Symmetrization for Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities

Using isoperimetry and symmetrization we provide a unified framework to study the classical and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. In particular, we obtain new Gaussian symmetrization inequalities and connect them with logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Our methods are very general and can be easily adapted to more general contexts.

Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities and the Information Theory

In this paper we present an overview on logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. These inequalities have become a subject of intense research activity during the past years, from analysis and geometry in finite and infinite dimension, to probability and statistical mechanics, and of course many others developments and applications are expected. We have divided this paper into three parts. The first pa...
