The aim of this paper is to discuss new results concerning some kinds of parametric extended entropies and divergences. As a result of our studies for mathematical properties on entropy and divergence, we give new bounds for the Tsallis…

The optimal (Monge-Kantorovich) transportation problem is discussed from several points of view. The Lagrangian formulation extends the action of the {\em Lagrangian} $L(v,x,t)$ from the set of orbits in $\R^n$ to a set of measure-valued…

In this paper, we derive exponential ergodicity in relative entropy for general kinetic SDEs under a partially dissipative condition. It covers non-equilibrium situations where the forces are not of gradient type and the invariant measure…

A maximal inequality is an inequality which involves the (absolute) supremum $\sup_{s\leq t}|X_{s}|$ or the running maximum $\sup_{s\leq t}X_{s}$ of a stochastic process $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$. We discuss maximal inequalities for several classes…

We present a class of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality, interpolating between Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, suitable for measures of the type $\exp(-|x|^\al)$ or more complex $\exp(-|x|^\al\log^\beta(2+|x|))$…

In this short paper we generalize the classical inequality between the norms in Lebesgue spaces of the functions and its derivatives, which in the multidimensional case are called Sobolev's inequalities, on the many popular classes pairs of…

We introduce a generalization of relative entropy derived from the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson entropy and give a simple, self-contained proof that it is convex. Moreover, special cases yield the joint convexity of relative entropy, and for the map…

We consider a new functional inequality controlling the rate of relative entropy decay for random walks, the interchange process and more general block-type dynamics for permutations. The inequality lies between the classical logarithmic…

We study an optimal weak transport cost related to the notion of convex order between probability measures. On the real line, we show that this weak transport cost is reached for a coupling that does not depend on the underlying cost…

We establish a dimension-free, uniform-in-time reverse transportation inequality for Langevin dynamics with non-convex potentials. This inequality controls the R\'enyi divergence of arbitrary order between the process distributions starting…

In this paper, following the recent work of Fathi (2018) in the classical case, we provide by two different methods a sharp symmetrized free Talagrand inequality for the semicircular law, which improves the free TCI of Biane and Voiculescu…

The goal of the article is to improve constants in the infimum convolution inequalities (IC for short) which were introduced by R. Lata{\l}a and J.O. Wojtaszczyk. We show that the exponential distribution satisfies IC with constant $2$ but…

We study minimization of a parametric family of relative entropies, termed relative $\alpha$-entropies (denoted $\mathscr{I}_{\alpha}(P,Q)$). These arise as redundancies under mismatched compression when cumulants of compressed lengths are…
