Optimal concentration of information content for log-concave densities

M Fradelizi, M Madiman, L Wang - High Dimensional Probability VII: The …, 2016 - Springer
An elementary proof is provided of sharp bounds for the varentropy of random vectors with
log-concave densities, as well as for deviations of the information content from its mean …

The Entropic Barrier Is n-Self-Concordant

S Chewi - Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis: Israel …, 2023 - Springer
For any convex body K⊆ ℝ n, S. Bubeck and R. Eldan introduced the entropic barrier on K
and showed that it is a (1+ o (1)) n-self-concordant barrier. In this note, we observe that the …

On the Lipschitz properties of transportation along heat flows

D Mikulincer, Y Shenfeld - Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis: Israel …, 2023 - Springer
We prove new Lipschitz properties for transport maps along heat flows, constructed by Kim
and Milman. For (semi)-log-concave measures and Gaussian mixtures, our bounds have …

Transport inequalities for log-concave measures, quantitative forms, and applications

D Cordero-Erausquin - Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 2017 - cambridge.org
We review some simple techniques based on monotone-mass transport that allow us to
obtain transport-type inequalities for any log-concave probability measures, and for more …

Dynamical aspects of the generalized Schrödinger problem via Otto calculus–A heuristic point of view

I Gentil, C Léonard, L Ripani - Revista matemática iberoamericana, 2020 - ems.press
A special formulation of the Schrödinger problem consists in minimizing some action on the
Wasserstein space of probability measures on a Riemannian manifold subject to fixed initial …

Sharp stability for LSI

E Indrei - Mathematics, 2023 - mdpi.com
A fundamental tool in mathematical physics is the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. A
quantitative version proven by Carlen with a remainder involving the Fourier–Wiener …

Quantitative stability of the entropy power inequality

TA Courtade, M Fathi… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We establish quantitative stability results for the entropy power inequality (EPI). Specifically,
we show that if uniformly log-concave densities nearly saturate the EPI, then they must be …

Asymptotics of smoothed Wasserstein distances

HB Chen, J Niles-Weed - Potential Analysis, 2021 - Springer
We investigate contraction of the Wasserstein distances on ℝ d R^d under Gaussian
smoothing. It is well known that the heat semigroup is exponentially contractive with respect …

Concentration of information content for convex measures

M Fradelizi, J Li, M Madiman - 2020 - projecteuclid.org
We establish sharp exponential deviation estimates of the information content as well as a
sharp bound on the varentropy for the class of convex measures on Euclidean spaces. This …
