We revisit entropy methods to prove new sharp trace logarithmic Sobolev and sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities on the half space, with a focus on the entropy inequality itself and not the actual flow, allowing for somewhat…

We obtain equilibration rates for a one-dimensional nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation with time-dependent diffusion coefficient and drift, modeling the relaxation of a large swarm of robots, feeling each other in terms of their distance,…

We use the distances introduced in a previous joint paper to exhibit the gradient flow structure of some drift-diffusion equations for a wide class of entropy functionals. Functional inequalities obtained by the comparison of the entropy…

The aim of the paper is to address the behavior in large population of diffusions interacting on a random, possibly diluted and inhomogeneous graph. This is the natural continuation of a previous work, where the homogeneous Erd\H os-R\'enyi…

We investigate the diffusion of particles in an attractive one-dimensional potential that grows logarithmically for large $|x|$ using the Fokker-Planck equation. An eigenfunction expansion shows that the Boltzmann equilibrium density does…

We discuss a general class of nonlinear mean-field Fokker-Planck equations [P.H. Chavanis, Phys. Rev. E, 68, 036108 (2003)] and show their applications in different domains of physics, astrophysics and biology. These equations are…

For numerical semigroups with a specified list of (not necessarily minimal) generators, we obtain explicit asymptotic expressions, and in some cases quasipolynomial/quasirational representations, for all major factorization length…

In this work, we study inequalities and enumerative formulas for flags of Pfaff systems on $\mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{C}}$. More specifically, we find the number of independent Pfaff systems that leave invariant a one-dimensional holomorphic…

Fractional Fokker-Planck equation plays an important role in describing anomalous dynamics. To the best of our knowledge, the existing discussions mainly focus on this kind of equation involving one diffusion operator. In this paper, we…

We revisit Villani's approach to the study of hypocoercive diffusion operators by applying a variant of the Bakry-\'Emery machinery. The method relies on a generalized Bakry-\'Emery type criterion that applies to Kolmogorov type operators.…
