We show how to use Lyapunov functions to obtain functional inequalities which are stronger than Poincar\'e inequality (for instance logarithmic Sobolev or $F$-Sobolev). The case of Poincar\'e and weak Poincar\'e inequalities was studied in…
We give by simple arguments sufficient conditions, so called Lyapunov conditions, for Talagrand's transportation information inequality and for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Those sufficient conditions work even in the case where the…
The use of Lyapunov conditions for proving functional inequalities was initiated in [5]. It was shown in [4, 30] that there is an equivalence between a Poincar{\'e} inequality, the existence of some Lyapunov function and the exponential…
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…
This paper is a follow up to an article by two of the authors dedicated to the study of Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for measures of the form $d\mu = e^{-U} d\nu$ where $e^{-U}$ is seen as a perturbation of $d\nu$.…
In this paper, we study some functional inequalities (such as Poincar\'e inequalities, logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, generalized Cheeger isoperimetric inequalities, transportation-information inequalities and transportation-entropy…
In this paper we will study the equivalence between super-Poincar\'e inequality and some log-Sobolev type inequalities, including weak log-Sobolev inequality and super log-Sobolev inequality. The explicit relations between associated rate…
In this paper we introduce and study a weakened form of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in connection with various others functional inequalities (weak Poincar\'{e} inequalities, general Beckner inequalities...). We also discuss the…
We prove that for a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, the Poincar\'e inequality for convex functions is equivalent to the weak transportation inequality with a quadratic-linear cost. This generalizes recent results by Gozlan et al. and…
By using Lyapunov conditions, weak Poincar\'e inequalities are established for some probability measures on a manifold $(M,g)$. These results are further applied to the convolution of two probability measures on $\R^d$. Along with explicit…
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 $\exp(-|x|^\al\log^\beta(2+|x|))$…
Reverse H\"{o}lder inequalities for a class of functions on a probability space constitute an important tool in Analysis in Probability. After revisiting how a (modified) log-Sobolev inequality can be used to derive reverse H\"{o}lder…
In this paper we provide a proof of the Sobolev-Poincar\'e inequality for variable exponent spaces by means of mass transportation methods. The importance of this approach is that the method is exible enough to deal with different…
If Poincar{\'e} inequality has been studied by Bobkov for radial measures, few is known about the logarithmic Sobolev inequalty in the radial case. We try to fill this gap here using different methods: Bobkov's argument and…
Using measure-capacity inequalities we study new functional inequalities, namely L^q-Poincar\'{e} inequalities and L^q-logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. As a consequence, we establish the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to the…
In this paper we are focusing on functional inequalities on compact simple edge spaces. More precisely we address the question whether the classical functional inequalities (Sobolev, Poincar\'e) hold in this setting, and as a by-product of…
Through the main example of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, the Bakry-Emery criterion is presented as a main tool to get functional inequalities as Poincar\'e or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Moreover an alternative method using the…
Equivalence of the spectral gap, exponential integrability of hitting times and Lyapunov conditions are well known. We give here the correspondance (with quantitative results) for reversible diffusion processes. As a consequence, we…
This paper is devoted to the study of probability measures with heavy tails. Using the Lyapunov function approach we prove that such measures satisfy different kind of functional inequalities such as weak Poincar\'e and weak Cheeger,…
We characterize Poincar\'{e} inequalities in metric spaces using rearrangement inequalities
