Weak Poincar\'e Inequalities for Convergence Rate of Degenerate Diffusion Processes

Probability 2017-03-16 v1

Abstract

For a contraction C0C_0-semigroup on a separable Hilbert space, the decay rate is estimated by using the weak Poincar\'e inequalities for the symmetric and anti-symmetric part of the generator. As applications, non-exponential convergence rate is characterized for a class of degenerate diffusion processes, so that the study of hypocoercivity is extended. Concrete examples are presented.
