Analytic and Geometric Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities

Michel Ledoux (2011)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

We survey analytic and geometric proofs of classical logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for Gaussian and more general strictly log-concave probability measures. Developments of the last decade link the two approaches through heat kernel and Hamilton-Jacobi equations, inequalities in convex geometry and mass transportation.

Quantitative Isoperimetric Inequalities on the Real Line

Yohann de Castro (2011)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Similarity:

In a recent paper A. Cianchi, N. Fusco, F. Maggi, and A. Pratelli have shown that, in the Gauss space, a set of given measure and almost minimal Gauss boundary measure is necessarily close to be a half-space. Using only geometric tools, we extend their result to all symmetric log-concave measures on the real line. We give sharp quantitative isoperimetric inequalities and prove that among sets of given measure and given asymmetry (distance to half line, i.e. distance to sets...

Isotropic hypoellipticity and trend to the equilibrium for the Fokker-Planck equation with high degree potential

Frédéric Hérau (2002)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

We consider the Fokker-Planck equation with a confining or anti-confining potential which behaves at infinity like a possibly high degree homogeneous function. Hypoellipticity techniques provide the well-posedness of the weak-Cauchy problem in both cases as well as instantaneous smoothing and exponential trend to equilibrium. Lower and upper bounds for the rate of convergence to equilibrium are obtained in terms of the lowest positive eigenvalue of the corresponding Witten laplacian,...
