Abstract: In this paper, one investigates the following type of transportation-information TcI inequalities: alpha(Tc(u,mu))leI(u|mu) for all probability measures u on some metric space (XX,d), where mu is a given probability measure, Tc(u,mu) is the transportation cost from u to mu with respect to some cost function c(x,y) on XX2, I(u|mu) is the Fisher-Donsker-Varadhan information of u with respect to mu and alpha:[0,infty)o[0,infty] is some left continuous increasing function. Using large deviation techniques, it is shown that TcI is equivalent to some concentration inequality for the occupation measure of a mu-reversible ergodic Markov process related to I(cdot|mu), a counterpart of the characterizations of transportation-entropy inequalities, recently obtained by Gozlan and L'eonard in the i.i.d. case . Tensorization properties of TcI are also derived.
