This introduction surveys a renormalisation group perspective on log-Sobolev inequalities and related properties of stochastic dynamics. We also explain the relationship of this approach to related recent and less recent developments such…
Inspired by the recent results of C. Landim, G. Panizo and H.-T. Yau [LPY] on spectral gap and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for unbounded conservative spin systems, we study uniform bounds in these inequalities for Glauber dynamics of…
The generalized polynomial chaos method is applied to the Buckley-Leverett equation. We consider a spatially homogeneous domain modeled as a random field. The problem is projected onto stochastic basis functions which yields an extended…
We develop an information-theoretic perspective on some questions in convex geometry, providing for instance a new equipartition property for log-concave probability measures, some Gaussian comparison results for log-concave measures, an…
In this paper we prove different functional inequalities extending the classical Rogers-Shephard inequalities for convex bodies. The original inequalities provide an optimal relation between the volume of a convex body and the volume of…
In this work, we propose a new approach called ``stationary reduction method based on nonisospectral deformation of orthogonal polynomials" for deriving discrete Painlev\'{e}-type (d-P-type) equations. We apply this approach to…
We study convexity or concavity of certain trace functions for the deformed logarithmic and exponential functions, and obtain in this way new trace inequalities for deformed exponentials that may be considered as generalizations of…
An important theme in recent work in asymptotic geometric analysis is that many classical implications between different types of geometric or functional inequalities can be reversed in the presence of convexity assumptions. In this note,…
In [2] we introduced a method combining together an observability inequality and a spectral decomposition to get a logarithmic stability estimate for the inverse problem of determining both the potential and the damping coefficient in a…
We characterize the effectiveness of a classical algorithm for recovering the Markov graph of a general discrete pairwise graphical model from i.i.d. samples. The algorithm is (appropriately regularized) maximum conditional log-likelihood,…
The goal of this paper is to study convergence and error estimates of the Monte Carlo method for the Navier-Stokes equations with random data. To discretize in space and time, the Monte Carlo method is combined with a suitable deterministic…
In this paper generalization of Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods, introduced by Salkuyeh in 2007, is studied. In particular, convergence criteria for these methods are discussed. A generalization of successive overrelaxation~(SOR) method is…
We discuss transportation cost inequalities for uniform measures on convex bodies, and connections with other geometric and functional inequalities. In particular, we show how transportation inequalities can be applied to the slicing…
Solving symmetric positive semidefinite linear systems is an essential task in many scientific computing problems. While Jacobi-type methods, including the classical Jacobi method and the weighted Jacobi method, exhibit simplicity in their…
Given a Lipschitz or smooth convex function $\, f:K \to \mathbb{R}$ for a bounded polytope $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ defined by $m$ inequalities, we consider the problem of sampling from the log-concave distribution $\pi(\theta) \propto…
Given a suitably normalized $X\in\mathbb{R}^n$ we observe that the function $\theta\mapsto\mathbb{E}|X\cdot\theta|$, defined for $\theta\in S^{n-1}$, admits surprisingly strong concentration far surpassing what is expected on account of…
We prove a curvature-dimension criterion and obtain logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for generalised Cauchy measures with optimal weights and explicit constants. In the one-dimensional case, this constant is even optimal. From these…
Variable Coefficient Korteweg de Vries (vcKdV), Modified Korteweg de Vries (vcMKdV), and nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equations have a long history dating from their derivation in various applications. A technique based on extended Lax Pairs…
The goal of this paper is to give a non-local sufficient condition for generalized Poincar\'e inequalities, which extends the well-known Bakry-Emery condition. Such generalized Poincar\'e inequalities have been introduced by W. Beckner in…
We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log Sobolev and Poincare inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally to the concept of…
