We prove a logarithmic estimate in the Hardy-Sobolev space $H^{k, 2}$, $k$ a positive integer, of the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$. This estimate extends those previously established by L. Baratchart and M. Zerner in $H^{1,2}$ and by S. Chaabane…

By using optimal mass transport theory, we provide a direct proof to the sharp $L^p$-log-Sobolev inequality $(p\geq 1)$ involving a log-concave homogeneous weight on an open convex cone $E\subseteq \mathbb R^n$. The perk of this proof is…

We provide explicit lower bounds for the deficit in the Gaussian logarithmic Sobolev inequality in terms of differential operators that are naturally associated with the so-called Stein characterization of the Gaussian distribution. The…

This paper is devoted to improvements of functional inequalities based on scalings and written in terms of relative entropies. When scales are taken into account and second moments fixed accordingly, deficit functionals provide explicit…

We develop the optimal transportation approach to modified log-Sobolev inequalities and to isoperimetric inequalities. Various sufficient conditions for such inequalities are given. Some of them are new even in the classical log-Sobolev…

The logarithmic Sobolev inequality is fundamental in mathematical physics. Associated stability estimates are equivalent to uncertainty principles. Via a second moment bound, $W^{1,1}$ estimates are obtained in one dimension and similar…

We investigate the stability of the Wasserstein distance, a metric structure on the space of probability measures arising from the theory of optimal transport, under metric ultralimits. We first show that if $(X_{i},d_{i})_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$…
