We review and formulate results concerning log-concavity and strong-log-concavity in both discrete and continuous settings. We show how preservation of log-concavity and strongly log-concavity on $\mathbb{R}$ under convolution follows from…

We study the notion of reverse hypercontractivity. We show that reverse hypercontractive inequalities are implied by standard hypercontractive inequalities as well as by the modified log-Sobolev inequality. Our proof is based on a new…

We consider two methods to establish log-Sobolev inequalities for the invariant measure of a diffusion process when its density is not explicit and the curvature is not positive everywhere. In the first approach, based on the Holley-Stroock…

We discuss new proofs, and new forms, of a reverse logarithmic Sobolev inequality, with respect to the standard Gaussian measure, for low complexity functions, measured in terms of Gaussian-width. In particular, we provide a dimension-free…

We consider probability mass functions $V$ supported on the positive integers using arguments introduced by Caputo, Dai Pra and Posta, based on a Bakry--\'{E}mery condition for a Markov birth and death operator with invariant measure $V$.…

For a function $f$ from the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(C)$ ($C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is an open convex cone), a sharp inequality that estimates $\| f\|_{L_{\infty}}$ via the $L_{p}$-norm of its gradient and a seminorm of the function is obtained.…
