Exponential convergence to equilibrium via Lyapounov functionals for reaction-diffusion equations arising from non reversible chemical kinetics

Similarity:

We show that the entropy method, that has been used successfully in order to prove exponential convergence towards equilibrium with explicit constants in many contexts, among which reaction-diffusion systems coming out of reversible chemistry, can also be used when one considers a reaction-diffusion system corresponding to an irreversible mechanism of dissociation/recombination, for which no natural entropy is available.

Functional inequalities and uniqueness of the Gibbs measure — from log-Sobolev to Poincaré

Pierre-André Zitt (2008)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow Royer's approach (Royer, 1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing convergence properties of a Glauber-Langevin dynamics. The result was known when the measures on the box [- (with free boundary conditions) satisfied the same logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We generalize this in two directions: either the constants...
