We give some estimates of the remainder terms for several conformally-invariant Sobolev-type inequalities on the Heisenberg group, in analogy with the Euclidean case. By considering the variation of associated functionals, we give a…
We study stability under tensorization and projection-type operations of gradient-type estimates and other functional inequalities for Markov semigroups on metric spaces. Using transportation-type inequalities obtained by F. Baudoin and N.…
We prove that in the context of general Markov semigroups Beckner inequalities with constants separated from zero as $p\to 1^+$ are equivalent to the modified log Sobolev inequality (previously only one implication was known to hold in this…
Nash and Sobolev inequalities are known to be equivalent to ultracontractive properties of heat-like Markov semigroups, hence to uniform on-diagonal bounds on their kernel densities. In non ultracontractive settings, such bounds can not…
We show that quasi-minimizers of non-homogeneous energy functionals on metric measure spaces are locally H\"older continuous and satisfy the Harnack inequality. We assume that the spaces are doubling and support a Poincar\'e inequality. The…
We investigate the use of a certain class of functional inequalities known as weak Poincar\'e inequalities to bound convergence of Markov chains to equilibrium. We show that this enables the straightforward and transparent derivation of…
The functional calculus of semigroup generators, based on the class of Bernstein functions in several variables is developed, the condition for holomorphy of semigroups, generated by operators which arisen in the calculus is given, and in…
The hypercontractivity is proved for the Markov semigroup associated to a class of finite/infinite dimensional stochastic Hamiltonian systems. Consequently, the Markov semigroup is exponentially convergent to the invariant probability…
We give extensions of results on nonnegative matrix semigroups which deduce finiteness or boundedness of such semigroups from the corresponding local properties, e.g., from finiteness or boundedness of values of certain linear functionals…
We study properties of continuous semi-homogeneous operators of degree $k$ via various functions (e.g. measures of noncompactness) on all bounded subsets of a Banach space. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for these functions to…
We characterise contractivity, boundedness and polynomial boundedness for a C_0-semigroup on a Banach space in terms of its cogenerator V (or the Cayley transform of the generator) or its resolvent. In particular, we extend results of…
We prove that every reversible Markov semigroup which satisfies a Poincar\'e inequality satisfies a matrix-valued Poincar\'e inequality for Hermitian $d\times d$ matrix valued functions, with the same Poincar\'e constant. This generalizes…
We present in a unified setting the foundations for a theory of non-bilinear Dirichlet functionals on Hilbert spaces. We prove known and new equivalences between non-linear semigroups, non-linear resolvents, non-linear generators, and their…
We study extremal functions for a family of Poincar\'e-Sobolev-type inequalities. These functions minimize, for subcritical or critical $p\geq 2$, the quotient ${\|\nabla u\|_2}/{\|u\|_p}$ among all $u \in H^1(B)\setminus\{0\}$ with…
This article addresses structure-preserving smooth approximation of semiconcave functions. semiconcave functions are of particular interest because they naturally arise in a variety of variational problems, including {optimal feedback…
In this paper, we prove the equivalent of ultracontractive bound of heat semigroup or the uniform upper bound of the heat kernel with the Nash inequality, Log-Sobolev inequalities on graphs. We also show that under the assumption of volume…
The main purpose of this paper is to treat semigroups properties, like norm continuity, compactness and differentiability for perturbed semigroups in Banach spaces. In particular, we investigate three large classes of perturbations,…
For a Banach space $B$ of functions which satisfies for some $m>0$ $$ \max(\|F+G\|_B,\|F-G\|_B) \ge (\|F\|^s_B + m\|G\|^s_B)^{1/s}, \forall F,G\in B \ (*) $$ a significant improvement for lower estimates of the moduli of smoothness…
We consider a semigroup of operators in the Banach space $C_b(H)$ of uniformly continuous and bounded functions on a separable Hilbert space $H$. In particular, we deal with semigroups that are related to solution of stochastic PDEs in $H$…
With direct and simple proofs, we establish Poincar\'{e} type inequalities (including Poincar\'{e} inequalities, weak Poincar\'{e} inequalities and super Poincar\'{e} inequalities), entropy inequalities and Beckner-type inequalities for…
