A note on Talagrand’s transportation inequality and logarithmic Sobolev inequality
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give by simple arguments sufficient conditions, so called Lyapunov conditions, for Talagrand’s transportation information inequality and for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Those sufficient conditions work even in the case where the Bakry-Emery curvature is not lower bounded. Several new examples are provided.

An Inequality for Relative Entropy and Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities in Euclidean Spaces
for any density function p(x) on R, where pi(·|y1, . . . , yi−1, yi+1, . . . , yn) and Qi(·|x1, . . . , xi−1, xi+1, . . . , xn) denote the local specifications of p resp. q, and ρi is the logarithmic Sobolev constant of Qi(·|x1, . . . , xi−1, xi+1, . . . , xn). Thereby we derive a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for a weighted Gibbs sampler governed by the local specifications of q. Moreover, th...
متن کاملA Criterion for Talagrand’s Quadratic Transportation Cost Inequality
Abstract. We show that the quadratic transportation cost inequality T2 is equivalent to both a Poincaré inequality and a strong form of the Gaussian concentration property. The main ingredient in the proof is a new family of inequalities, called modified quadratic transportation cost inequalities in the spirit of the modified logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities by Bobkov and Ledoux [6], that are s...
متن کاملGeneralization of an Inequality by Talagrand, and Links with the Logarithmic Sobolev Inequality
We show that transport inequalities, similar to the one derived by Talagrand [30] for the Gaussian measure, are implied by logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Conversely, Talagrand’s inequality implies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality if the density of the measure is approximately log-concave, in a precise sense. All constants are independent of the dimension, and optimal in certain cases. The pr...
متن کاملLogarithmic Sobolev, Isoperimetry and Transport Inequalities on Graphs
In this paper, we study some functional inequalities (such as Poincaré inequality, logarithmic Sobolev inequality, generalized Cheeger isoperimetric inequality, transportation-information inequality and transportation-entropy inequality) for reversible nearest-neighbor Markov processes on connected finite graphs by means of (random) path method. We provide estimates of the involved constants.
متن کاملPoincar e ’ s inequalities and Talagrand ’ s concentration phenomenon for the exponential distribution
We present a simple proof, based on modi ed logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, of Talagrand’s concentration inequality for the exponential distribution. We actually observe that every measure satisfying a Poincar e inequality shares the same concentration phenomenon. We also discuss exponential integrability under Poincar e inequalities and its consequence to sharp diameter upper bounds on spect...
