The main result includes features of a Hardy-type inequality and an inequality of either Sobolev or Gagliardo-Nirenberg type. It is inspired by the method of proof of a recent improved Sobolev inequality derived by M. Ledoux which brings…
We prove optimality of the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality $$ \|\nabla u\|_{X}\lesssim\|\nabla^2 u\|_Y^{1/2}\|u\|_Z^{1/2}, $$ where $Y, Z$ are rearrangement invariant Banach function spaces and $X=Y^{1/2}Z^{1/2}$ is the…
Log-Sobolev inequalities (LSIs) upper-bound entropy via a multiple of the Dirichlet form (i.e. norm of a gradient). In this paper we prove a family of entropy-energy inequalities for the binary hypercube which provide a non-linear…

In this paper, we offer a proof for a family of functional inequalities interpolating between the Poincar{\'e} and the logarithmic Sobolev (standard and weighted) inequalities. The proofs rely both on entropy flows and on a CD($\rho$, n)…
This paper deals with fractional Sobolev spaces on a compact Riemannian manifold. We prove a Sobolev inequality in the critical range with an optimal constant for these fractional Sobolev spaces. We use this result to study the existence of…
We consider a diffusion process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a generator of the form $ L:=\frac 12 e^{V(x)}div(e^{-V(x)}\nabla ) $ where $V$ is measurable and periodic. We only assume that $e^V$ and $e^{-V}$ are locally integrable. We then show…
A non self-similar change of coordinates provides improved matching asymptotics of the solutions of the fast diffusion equation for large times, compared to already known results, in the range for which Barenblatt solutions have a finite…

We investigate the optimality problem associated with the best constants in a class of Bohnenblust--Hille type inequalities for $m$--linear forms. While germinal estimates indicated an exponential growth, in this work we provide strong…
We study a class of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with a general form of the energy functional. The class generalizes various examples of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities considered previously in the literature. Refining a…
A discrete analysis of the phase and dissipation errors of an explicit, semi-Lagrangian spectral element method is performed. The semi-Lagrangian method advects the Lagrange interpolant according the Lagrangian form of the transport…
Beckner's inequality is a family of inequalities that interpolates the two fundamental functional inequalities, the logarithmic Sobolev and Poincar\'e's inequalities. It is parametrized by exponent $p\in (1,2]$ and it implies the…
We establish sharp estimates for the discrete optimal constant of the fractional Sobolev inequality in dimension $N\geq 1$, with fractional exponent $s\in (0,\min\{1,N/2\})$. The convergence rates that we establish take place for the…

In non-private stochastic convex optimization, stochastic gradient methods converge much faster on interpolation problems -- problems where there exists a solution that simultaneously minimizes all of the sample losses -- than on…
This paper investigates the optimal transport problem within the framework of Linear Quadratic optimal control systems. We establish the well-posedness of the Monge problem and analyze the regularity of the resulting optimal transport map,…
Convexity properties of the entropy along displacement interpolations are crucial in the Lott-Sturm-Villani theory of lower bounded curvature of geodesic measure spaces. As discrete spaces fail to be geodesic, an alternate analogous theory…
HWI inequalities are interpolation inequalities relating entropy, Fisher information and optimal transport distances. We adapt an argument of Y. Wu for proving the Gaussian HWI inequality via a coupling argument to the discrete setting,…
