Generalization of an Inequality by Talagrand and Links with the Logarithmic Sobolev Inequality

TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that transport inequalities, similar to the one derived by M. Talagrand (1996, Geom. Funct. Anal. 6, 587-600) for the Gaussian measure, are implied by logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

Optimal scaling for the transient phase of Metropolis Hastings algorithms: The longtime behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the random walk Metropolis algorithm with Gaussian proposals and obtain a diffusive limit for each component of the Markov chain, where the target probability measure is the $n$-fold product of a one-dimensional law.

Rates of decay to equilibria for p-Laplacian type equations

TL;DR: In this paper, the long-time asymptotics for p -Laplacian type equations ρ t = Δ p ρ m = div ( | ∇ ρm | p − 2 ∆ ∆ | p−1 ∆ m ) in R n are studied for p > 1 and m ≥ n − p + 1 n (p − 1 ).

Polar Factorization and Monotone Rearrangement of Vector-Valued Functions

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for every vector-valued function u Lp(X, p; Rd) there is a unique polar factorization u = V$.s, where $ is a convex function defined on R and s is a measure-preserving mapping from (x, p) into (Q, I. I), provided that u is nondegenerate.

The geometry of dissipative evolution equations: the porous medium equation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the porous medium equation has a gradient flow structure which is both physically and mathematically natural, and they use the intuition and the calculus of Riemannian geometry to quantify this asymptotic behavior.

Topological methods in hydrodynamics

TL;DR: A group theoretical approach to hydrodynamics is proposed in this article, where the authors consider the hydrodynamic geometry of diffeomorphism groups and the principle of least action implies that the motion of a fluid is described by geodesics on the group in the right-invariant Riemannian metric given by the kinetic energy.
