\(L^q\)-functional inequalities and weighted porous media equations (Q2471750)

In this paper, using measure-capacity inequalities the authors study new functional inequalities, namely \(L^q\)-Poincaré inequalities \[ {\mathbf {Var}}_{\mu}(f^q)^{1/q}\leq \text{C}_{\text{P}}\int| \nabla f| ^2\,dv, \] and \(L^q\)-logarithmic Sobolev inequalities \[ {\mathbf {Ent}}_{\mu}(f^{2q})^{1/q}\leq \text{C}_{\text{LS}}\int| \nabla f| ^2\,dv, \] for any \(q\in(0,1].\) As a consequence, the authors establish the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the so-called weighted porous media equation \[ \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=\Delta u^m-\nabla\psi\cdot\nabla u^m \] for \(m\geq 1,\) in terms of \(L^2\)-norms and entropies. In this paper, the proof of two variants of results of [\textit{F. Barthe, P. Cattiaux} and \textit{C. Roberto}, AMRX Appl. Math. Res. Express, No.2, 39--60 (2005; Zbl 1094.60010)] is given in an appendix,
