We consider solutions to the Kac master equation for initial conditions where $N$ particles are in a thermal equilibrium and $M\le N$ particles are out of equilibrium. We show that such solutions have exponential decay in entropy relative…
We consider a nonlinear constrained heat flow evolving on the manifold $\mathcal{M}=\{v\in L^{2}:\|v\|_{L^{2}}=1\}$ over bounded smooth domains. It is known that the solution corresponding to any nonnegative initial datum remains on…
In this paper, we consider functionals based on moments and non-linear entropies which have a linear growth in time in case of source-type so-lutions to the fast diffusion or porous medium equations, that are also known as Barenblatt…
We find sharp constants in the symmetric integral form of the John-Nirenberg inequality. The result is based upon computation of a new interesting Bellman function.
Starting from microscopic mechanics, we derive thermodynamic relations for heat conducting nonequilibrium steady states. The extended Clausius relation enables one to experimentally determine nonequilibrium entropy to the second order in…
A new equation, rooted in the theory of Brownian motion, is proposed for describing heat conduction by phonons. Though a finite speed of propagation is a built-in feature of the equation, it does not give rise to an inauthentic wave front…
A statistical-mechanical investigation is performed on Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of a dilute classical gas starting from the Boltzmann equation. We first present a microscopic derivation of basic hydrodynamic equations and an expression…

We show that the thermal subadditivity of entropy provides a common basis to derive a strong form of the bounded difference inequality and related results as well as more recent inequalities applicable to convex Lipschitz functions, random…
We establish a general class of entropy inequalities that take the concise form of Gaussian comparisons. The main result unifies many classical and recent results, including the Shannon-Stam inequality, the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, the…
While most useful information theoretic inequalities can be deduced from the basic properties of entropy or mutual information, up to now Shannon's entropy power inequality (EPI) is an exception: Existing information theoretic proofs of the…

We study the Li--Yau inequality for the heat equation corresponding to the Dunkl harmonic oscillator, which is a non-local Schr\"{o}dinger operator parameterized by reflections and multiplicity functions. In the particular case when the…
For any two real-valued continuous-path martingales $X=\{X_t\}_{t\geq 0}$ and $Y=\{Y_t\}_{t\geq 0}$, with $X$ and $Y$ being orthogonal and $Y$ being differentially subordinate to $X$, we obtain sharp $L^p$ inequalities for martingales of…
The current status concerning Hardy-type inequalities with sharp constants is presented and described in a unified convexity way. In particular, it is then natural to replace the Lebesgue measure $dx$ with the Haar measure $dx/x.$ There are…
Let $(M,g(t))$, $0\le t\le T$, $\partial M\ne\phi$, be a compact $n$-dimensional manifold, $n\ge 2$, with metric $g(t)$ evolving by the Ricci flow such that the second fundamental form of $\partial M$ with respect to the unit outward normal…
We characterize all the solutions of the heat equation that have their (spatial) equipotential surfaces which do not vary with the time. Such solutions are either isoparametric or split in space-time. The result gives a final answer to a…
We derive the entropy formula for the linear heat equaiton on complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. As applications, we study the relation between the value of entropy and the volume of balls of various scales. The…
