An information-theoretic proof of Nash's inequality
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2376636
Abstract: We show that an information-theoretic property of Shannon's entropy power, known as concavity of entropy power, can be fruitfully employed to prove inequalities in sharp form. In particular, the concavity of entropy power implies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and Nash's inequality with the sharp constant.
Summary: We show that an information-theoretic property of Shannon's entropy power, known as concavity of entropy power [\textit{M. H. M. Costa}, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 31, 751--760 (1985; Zbl 0585.94006)], can be fruitfully employed to prove inequalities in sharp form. In particular, the concavity of entropy power implies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and the Nash's inequality with the sharp constant.
