Modified log-Sobolev inequalities for convex functions on the real line. Sufficient conditions

Radosław Adamczak, Michał Strzelecki (2015)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We provide a mild sufficient condition for a probability measure on the real line to satisfy a modified log-Sobolev inequality for convex functions, interpolating between the classical log-Sobolev inequality and a Bobkov-Ledoux type inequality. As a consequence we obtain dimension-free two-level concentration results for convex functions of independent random variables with sufficiently regular tail decay. We also provide a link between modified log-Sobolev...

Variable Sobolev capacity and the assumptions on the exponent

Petteri Harjulehto, Peter Hästö, Mika Koskenoja, Susanna Varonen (2005)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In a recent article the authors showed that it is possible to define a Sobolev capacity in variable exponent Sobolev space. However, this set function was shown to be a Choquet capacity only under certain assumptions on the variable exponent. In this article we relax these assumptions.

A sharp iteration principle for higher-order Sobolev embeddings

Andrea Cianchi, Luboš Pick, Lenka Slavíková (2014)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We survey results from the paper [CPS] in which we developed a new sharp iteration method and applied it to show that the optimal Sobolev embeddings of any order can be derived from isoperimetric inequalities. We prove thereby that the well-known link between first-order Sobolev embeddings and isoperimetric inequalities translates to embeddings of any order, a fact that had not been known before. We show a general reduction principle that reduces Sobolev type inequalities of any order...

Direct and Reverse Gagliardo-Nirenberg Inequalities from Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities

Matteo Bonforte, Gabriele Grillo (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We investigate the connection between certain logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and generalizations of Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities. A similar connection holds between reverse logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and a new class of reverse Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities.

On fine properties of mixtures with respect to concentration of measure and Sobolev type inequalities

Djalil Chafaï, Florent Malrieu (2010)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

Mixtures are convex combinations of laws. Despite this simple definition, a mixture can be far more subtle than its mixed components. For instance, mixing gaussian laws may produce a potential with multiple deep wells. We study in the present work fine properties of mixtures with respect to concentration of measure and Sobolev type functional inequalities. We provide sharp Laplace bounds for Lipschitz functions in the case of generic mixtures, involving a transportation cost diameter...
