We continue our investigation on the transportation-information inequalities $W_pI$ for a symmetric markov process, introduced and studied in \cite{GLWY}. We prove that $W_pI$ implies the usual transportation inequalities $W_pH$, then the corresponding concentration inequalities for the invariant measure $μ$. We give also a direct proof that the spectral gap in the space of Lipschitz functions for a diffusion process implies $W_1I$ (a result due to \cite{GLWY}) and a Cheeger type's isoperimetric inequality. Finally we exhibit relations between transportation-information inequalities and a fami…
A class of functional differential equations are investigated. Using the Girsanov-transformation argument we establish the quadratic transportation cost inequalities for a class of finite-dimensional neutral functional stochastic differential equations and infinite-dimensional neutral functional stochastic partial differential equations under different metrics.
We establish transportation cost inequalities, with respect to the uniform and $L_2$-metric, on the path space of continuous functions, for laws of solutions of stochastic differential equations with reflections. We also consider the case of stochastic differential equations involving local times. Harnack inequalities for the associated semigroups are also established.
We develop connections between Harnack inequalities for the heat flow of diffusion operators with curvature bounded from below and optimal transportation. Through heat kernel inequalities, a new isoperimetric-type Harnack inequality is emphasized. Commutation properties between the heat and Hopf-Lax semigroups are developed consequently, providing direct access to the heat flow contraction property along Wasserstein distances.
We investigate the transportation cost-information inequalities for bifurcating Markov chains which are a class of processes indexed by binary tree. These processes provide models for cell growth when each individual in one generation gives birth to two offsprings in the next one. Transportation cost inequalities provide useful concentra-tion inequalities. We also study deviation inequalities for the empiri-cal means under relaxed assumptions on the Wasserstein contraction of the Markov kernels. Applications to bifurcating non linear autore-gressive processes are considered: deviation inequali…
In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for Talagrand's like transportation cost inequalities on the real line. This brings a new wide class of examples of probability measures enjoying a dimension-free concentration of measure property. Another byproduct is the characterization of modified Log-Sobolev inequalities for Log-concave probability measures on R.
In this paper, we consider Poincaré inequalities for non euclidean metrics on $\mathbb{R}^d$. These inequalities enable us to derive precise dimension free concentration inequalities for product measures. This technique is appropriate for a large scope of concentration rate: between exponential and gaussian and beyond. We give different equivalent functional forms of these Poincaré type inequalities in terms of transportation-cost inequalities and infimum convolution inequalities. Workable sufficient conditions are given and a comparison is made with generalized Beckner-Latala-Oleszkiewicz ine…
By using Girsanov transformation and martingale representation, Talagrand-type transportation cost inequalities, with respect to both the uniform and the $L^2$ distances on the global free path space, are established for the segment process associated to a class of neutral functional stochastic differential equations. Neutral functional stochastic partial differential equations are also investigated.
New transportation cost inequalities are derived by means of elementary large deviation reasonings. Their dual characterization is proved; this provides an extension of a well-known result of S. Bobkov and F. Götze. Their tensorization properties are investigated. Sufficient conditions (and necessary conditions too) for these inequalities are stated in terms of the integrability of the reference measure. Applying these results leads to new deviation results: concentration of measure and deviations of empirical processes.
For stochastic reaction-diffusion equations with Lévy noises and non-Lipschitz reaction terms, we prove that $W_1H$ transportation cost inequalities hold for their invariant probability measures and for their process-level laws on the path space with respect to the $L^1$-metric. The proofs are based on the Galerkin approximations.
Transportation cost inequalities for mean reflection SPDEs with white noise
本文研究了均值反射随机偏微分方程的解在统一范数下的二次运输成本不等式，提出了一种新的方程类型，其中补偿反射部分不依赖于路径，而是依赖于解的分布。
We first give a characterization of the L^1-transportation cost-information inequality on a metric space and next find some appropriate sufficient condition to transportation cost-information inequalities for dependent sequences. Applications to random dynamical systems and diffusions are studied.
In this paper, we prove a Talagrand's T2 transportation cost-information inequality for the law of a stochastic wave equation in spatial dimension d=3 driven by the Gaussian random field, white in time and correlated in space, on the continuous paths space with respect to the uniform topology.
Let X be the solution of the multidimensional stochastic differential equationdX(t) = b(t, X(t)) dt + sigma(t, X(t)) dW(t)\, with X(0)=x where W is a standard Brownian motion. We show that when b is measurable and sigma is in an appropriate Sobolev space, the law of X satisfies a uniform quadratic transportation inequality.
We prove transportation-cost inequalities for the law of SDE solutions driven by general Gaussian processes. Examples include the fractional Brownian motion, but also more general processes like bifractional Brownian motion. In case of multiplicative noise, our main tool is Lyons' rough paths theory. We also give a new proof of Talagrand's transportation-cost inequality on Gaussian Fréchet spaces. We finally show that establishing transportation-cost inequalities implies that there is an easy criterion for proving Gaussian tail estimates for functions defined on that space. This result can be …
Inequalities between transportation costs and Fisher information are known to characterize certain concentration properties of Markov processes around their invariant measures. This note provides a new characterization of the quadratic transportation-information inequality $W_2I$ in terms of a dimension-free concentration property for i.i.d. (conditionally on the initial positions) copies of the underlying Markov process. This parallels Gozlan's characterization of the quadratic transportation-entropy inequality $W_2H$. The proof is based on a new Laplace-type principle for the operator norms …
Transportation-cost inequalities for invariant measures of stochastic reaction-diffusion equations driven by space-time white noise
研究由乘性时空白噪声驱动的随机反应扩散方程不变测度的运输成本不等式，通过获取随机卷积矩估计，建立随机控制方程解的利普希茨连续性，最终证明了不同度量下的运输成本不等式。
In this paper, we prove transportation inequalities on the space of continuous paths with respect to the uniform metric, for the law of solution to a stochastic heat equation defined on $[0,T]\times [0,1]^d$. This equation is driven by the Gaussian noise, white in time and colored in space. The proof is based on a new moment inequality under the uniform metric for the stochastic convolution with respect to the time-white and space-colored noise, which is of independent interest.
Transportation cost inequalities for stochastic reaction diffusion equations on the whole line $\mathbb{R}$
本文针对全直线上乘性时空白噪声驱动的随机反应扩散方程，借助新型随机卷积矩估计，在加权空间中证明了解的二次传输费用不等式，并将结果推广至带随机初值的情形。
In this paper, we established a quadratic transportation cost inequality for solutions of stochastic reaction diffusion equations driven by multiplicative space-time white noise based on a new inequality we proved for the moments (under the uniform norm) of the stochastic convolution with respect to space-time white noise, which is of independent interest. The solutions of such stochastic partial differential equations are typically not semimartingales on the state space.
In in this paper we establish an explicit and sharp estimate of the spectral gap (Poincaré inequality) and the transportation inequality for Gibbs measures, under the Dobrushin uniqueness condition. Moreover, we give a generalization of the Liggett's $M-ε$ theorem for interacting particle systems.
Long-time reverse transportation inequalities for non-globally-dissipative Langevin dynamics
针对非凸势的Langevin动力学，建立了无维数、时间一致的反向运输不等式，将对数凹抽样的结果推广到非凸情形。
We prove that reflected Brownian motion with normal reflections in a convex domain satisfies a dimension free Talagrand type transportation cost-information inequality. The result is generalized to other reflected diffusions with suitable drifts and diffusions. We apply this to get such an inequality for interacting Brownian particles with rank-based drift and diffusion coefficients such as the infinite Atlas model. This is an improvement over earlier dimension-dependent results.
In this paper, we study some functional inequalities (such as Poincaré inequalities, logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, generalized Cheeger isoperimetric inequalities, transportation-information inequalities and transportation-entropy inequalities) for reversible nearest-neighbor Markov processes on a connected finite graph by means of (random) path method. We provide estimates of the involved constants.
We study Sobolev a priori estimates for the optimal transportation $T = \nabla Φ$ between probability measures $μ=e^{-V} \ dx$ and $ν=e^{-W} \ dx$ on $\R^d$. Assuming uniform convexity of the potential $W$ we show that $\int \| D^2 Φ\|^2_{HS} \ dμ$, where $\|\cdot\|_{HS}$ is the Hilbert-Schmidt norm, is controlled by the Fisher information of $μ$. In addition, we prove similar estimate for the $L^p(μ)$-norms of $\|D^2 Φ\|$ and obtain some $L^p$-generalizations of the well-known Caffarelli contraction theorem. We establish a connection of our results with the Talagrand transportation inequality…
We present a class of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality, interpolating between Poincaré and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, suitable for measures of the type $\exp(-|x|^\al)$ or more complex $\exp(-|x|^\al\log^β(2+|x|))$ ($\al\in]1,2[$ and $\be\in\dR$) which lead to new concentration inequalities. These modified inequalities share common properties with usual logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, as tensorisation or perturbation, and imply as well Poincaré inequality. We also study the link between these new modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and transportation inequalities.
This work is devoted to direct mass transportation proofs of families of functional inequalities in the context of one-dimensional free probability, avoiding random matrix approximation. The inequalities include the free form of the transportation, Log-Sobolev, HWI interpolation and Brunn-Minkowski inequalities for strictly convex potentials. Sharp constants and some extended versions are put forward. The paper also addresses two versions of free Poincaré inequalities and their interpretation in terms of spectral properties of Jacobi operators. The last part establishes the corresponding inequ…
It is known that a quadratic transportation-information inequality $\mathrm{W_2I}$ interpolates between the Talagrand's inequality $\mathrm{W_2H}$ and the log-Sobolev inequality (LSI for short). The aim of the present paper is threefold: (1) To prove the equivalence of $\mathrm{W_2I}$ and the Lyapunov condition, which gives a new characterization inspired by Cattiaux-Guillin-Wu [8]. (2) To prove the stability of $\mathrm{W_2I}$ under bounded perturbations, which gives a transference principle in the sense of Holley-Stroock. (3) To prove $\mathrm{W_2H}$ through a restricted $\mathrm{W_2I}$, whi…
We give an alternative proof for discrete Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities, recently obtained by Halikias, Klartag and the author. This proof also implies somewhat stronger weighted versions of these inequalities. Our approach generalizes ideas of Gozlan, Roberto, Samson and Tetali from the theory of measure transportation and provides new displacement convexity of entropy type inequalities for the lattice point enumerator.
Stability under mixtures of transportation inequalities and restricted log-Sobolev inequalities
本文研究传输-熵不等式与受限泛函不等式在混合下的稳定性，给出将不等式从混合分量转移到混合本身的充分条件。
We prove the free analogue of the transportation cost inequality for tracial distributions of non-commutative self-adjoint (also unitary) multi-variables based on random matrix approximation procedure.
We discuss transportation cost inequalities for uniform measures on convex bodies, and connections with other geometric and functional inequalities. In particular, we show how transportation inequalities can be applied to the slicing problem, and give a new log-Sobolev-type inequality for bounded domains in R^n.
One way to define the concentration of measure phenomenon is via Talagrand inequalities, also called transportation-information inequalities. That is, a comparison of the Wasserstein distance from the given measure to any other absolutely continuous measure with finite relative entropy. Such transportation-information inequalities were recently established for some stochastic differential equations. Here, we develop a similar theory for some stochastic partial differential equations.
Let $L=\DD+Z$ for a $C^1$ vector field $Z$ on a complete Riemannian manifold possibly with a boundary. By using the uniform distance, a number of transportation-cost inequalities on the path space for the (reflecting) $L$-diffusion process are proved to be equivalent to the curvature condition $\Ric-\nn Z\ge - K$ and the convexity of the boundary (if exists). These inequalities are new even for manifolds without boundary, and are partly extended to non-convex manifolds by using a conformal change of metric which makes the boundary from non-convex to convex.
By using the mirror coupling for solutions of SDEs driven by pure jump Lévy processes, we extend some transportation and concentration inequalities, which were previously known only in the case where the coefficients in the equation satisfy a global dissipativity condition. Furthermore, by using the mirror coupling for the jump part and the coupling by reflection for the Brownian part, we extend analogous results for jump diffusions. To this end, we improve some previous results concerning such couplings and show how to combine the jump and the Brownian case. As a crucial step in our proof, we…
We prove the transportation inequality with the uniform norm for the laws of diffusion processes with Lipschitz and/or dissipative coefficients and apply them to some singular stochastic differential equations of interest.
We prove that for a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, the Poincaré inequality for convex functions is equivalent to the weak transportation inequality with a quadratic-linear cost. This generalizes recent results by Gozlan et al. and Feldheim et al., concerning probability measures on the real line. The proof relies on modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities of Bobkov-Ledoux type for convex and concave functions, which are of independent interest. We also present refined concentration inequalities for general (not necessarily Lipschitz) convex functions, complementing recent results by …
Transportation cost inequalities for singular SPDEs
研究奇异SPDEs的BPHZ随机模型在全亚临界情形下的运输不等式，揭示其不变测度的自动可积性及BPHZ模型的大偏差原理。
We show that the quadratic transportation cost inequality $T_2$ is equivalent to both a Poincaré inequality and a strong form of the Gaussian concentration property. The main ingredient in the proof is a new family of inequalities, called modified quadratic transportation cost inequalities in the spirit of the modified logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities by Bobkov and Ledoux \cite{BL97}, that are shown to hold as soon as a Poincaré inequality is satisfied.
In this paper, one investigates the following type of transportation-information $T_cI$ inequalities: $α(T_c(ν,μ))\le I(ν|μ)$ for all probability measures $ν$ on some metric space $(\XX, d)$, where $μ$ is a given probability measure, $T_c(ν,μ)$ is the transportation cost from $ν$ to $μ$ with respect to some cost function $c(x,y)$ on $\XX^2$, $I(ν|μ)$ is the Fisher-Donsker-Varadhan information of $ν$ with respect to $μ$ and $α: [0,\infty)\to [0,\infty]$ is some left continuous increasing function. Using large deviation techniques, it is shown that $T_cI$ is equivalent to some concentration ineq…
Let $G$ be a countable discrete group with an orthogonal representation $α$ on a real Hilbert space $H$. We prove $L_p$ Poincaré inequalities for the group measure space $L_\infty(Ω_H,γ)\rtimes G$, where both the group action and the Gaussian measure space $(Ω_H, γ)$ are associated with the representation $α$. The idea of proof comes from Pisier's method on the boundedness of Riesz transform and Lust-Piquard's work on spin systems. Then we deduce a transportation type inequality from the $L_p$ Poincaré inequalities in the general noncommutative setting. This inequality is sharp up to a constan…
Transportation-cost inequalities for non-linear Gaussian functionals
本文针对度量空间上非线性高斯泛函的定律，证明了广义运输成本不等式，适用于非高斯尾部测度，并扩展了粗糙波动率和二维抛物型安德森模型等情形。
In this paper, some new forms of the Cheeger's inequalities are established for general (maybe unbounded) symmetric forms, the resulting estimates improve and extend the ones obtained by Lawler and Sokal (1988) for bounded jump processes. Furthermore, some existence criteria for spectral gap of general symmetric forms or general reversible Markov processes are presented, based on the Cheeger's inequalities and a relationship between the spectral gap and the first Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues on local region.
The aim of this paper is to show that a probability measure concentrates independently of the dimension like a gaussian measure if and only if it verifies Talagrand's $\T_2$ transportation-cost inequality. This theorem permits us to give a new and very short proof of a result of Otto and Villani. Generalizations to other types of concentration are also considered. In particular, one shows that the Poincaré inequality is equivalent to a certain form of dimension free exponential concentration. The proofs of these results rely on simple Large Deviations techniques.
In this work, we connect the problem of bounding the expected generalisation error with transportation-cost inequalities. Exposing the underlying pattern behind both approaches we are able to generalise them and go beyond Kullback-Leibler Divergences/Mutual Information and sub-Gaussian measures. In particular, we are able to provide a result showing the equivalence between two families of inequalities: one involving functionals and one involving measures. This result generalises the one proposed by Bobkov and Götze that connects transportation-cost inequalities with concentration of measure. M…
It is known that the Poincaré inequality is equivalent to the quadratic transportation-variance inequality (namely $W_2^2(fμ,μ) \leqslant C_V \mathrm{Var}_μ(f)$), see Jourdain \cite{Jourdain} and most recently Ledoux \cite{Ledoux18}. We give two alternative proofs to this fact. In particular, we achieve a smaller $C_V$ than before, which equals the double of Poincaré constant. Applying the same argument leads to more characterizations of the Poincaré inequality. Our method also yields a by-product as the equivalence between the logarithmic Sobolev inequality and strict contraction of heat flow…
Uniform-in-time concentration in two-layer neural networks via transportation inequalities
本文通过传输不等式研究了两层神经网络在时间均匀下的集中特性，建立了时间均匀的集中界并推导了预测误差估计。
In this note we introduce and prove local and potential independent transportation, Log-Sobolev and HWI inequalities in one dimensional free probability on compact intervals which are sharp. We recover using this approach a free transportation inequality on the whole real line which was put forward recently by M. Maida and E. Maurel-Segala.
We develop transportation-entropy inequalities which are saturated for measures such that their log-density with respect to the background measure is an affine function, in the setting of the uniform measure on the discrete hypercube and the exponential measure. In this sense, this extends the well-known result of Talagrand in the Gaussian case. By duality, these transportation-entropy inequalities imply a strong integrability inequality for Bernoulli and exponential processes. As a result, we obtain a dimension-free mean-field approximation of the free energy of a Gibbs measure and a dimensio…
Transportation inequalities for Markov kernels and their applications
本文研究度量空间上马尔可夫核的输运不等式，证明压缩不等式与反向Poincaré、反向对数Sobolev及Wang Harnack不等式等价，并应用于马尔可夫过程收敛和热核测度拟不变性。
This paper aims to provide some tools coming from functional inequalities to deal with quasi-stationarity for absorbed Markov processes. First, it is shown how a Poincaré inequality related to a suitable Doob transform entails exponential convergence of conditioned distributions to a quasi-stationary distribution in total variation and in $1$-Wasserstein distance. A special attention is paid to multi-dimensional diffusion processes, for which the aforementioned Poincaré inequality is implied by an easier-to-check Bakry-Émery condition depending on the right eigenvector for the sub-Markovian ge…
Using the method of transportation-information inequality introduced in \cite{GLWY}, we establish Bernstein type's concentration inequalities for empirical means $\frac 1t \int_0^t g(X_s)ds$ where $g$ is a unbounded observable of the symmetric Markov process $(X_t)$. Three approaches are proposed : functional inequalities approach ; Lyapunov function method ; and an approach through the Lipschitzian norm of the solution to the Poisson equation. Several applications and examples are studied.
The aim of this paper is to prove an inequality between relative entropy and the sum of average conditional relative entropies of the following form: For a fixed probability measure $q^n$ on $\mathcal X^n$, ($\mathcal X$ is a finite set), and any probability measure $p^n=\mathcal L(Y^n)$ on $\mathcal X^n$, we have \begin{equation}\label{*} D(p^n||q^n)\leq Const. \sum_{i=1}^n \Bbb E_{p^n} D(p_i(\cdot|Y_1,\dots, Y_{i-1},Y_{i+1},\dots, Y_n) || q_i(\cdot|Y_1,\dots, Y_{i-1},Y_{i+1},\dots, Y_n)), \end{equation} where $p_i(\cdot|y_1,\dots, y_{i-1},y_{i+1},\dots, y_n)$ and $q_i(\cdot|x_1,\dots, x_{i-1…
We develop the optimal transportation approach to modified log-Sobolev inequalities and to isoperimetric inequalities. Various sufficient conditions for such inequalities are given. Some of them are new even in the classical log-Sobolev case. The idea behind many of these conditions is that measures with a non-convex potential may enjoy such functional inequalities provided they have a strong integrability property that balances the lack of convexity. In addition, several known criteria are recovered in a simple unified way by transportation methods and generalized to the Riemannian setting.
We establish an improved form of the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the Gaussian measure restricted to probability densities which satisfy a Poincaré inequality. The result implies a lower bound on the deficit in terms of the quadratic Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance. We similarly investigate the deficit in the Talagrand quadratic transportation cost inequality this time by means of an ${\rm L}^1$-Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance, optimal for product measures, and deduce a lower bound on the deficit in the logarithmic Sobolev inequality in terms of this metric. Applications are …
In this paper we study the ergodicity and the related semigroup property for a class of symmetric Markov jump processes associated with time changed symmetric $α$-stable processes. For this purpose, explicit and sharp criteria for Poincaré type inequalities (including Poincaré, super Poincaré and weak Poincaré inequalities) of the corresponding non-local Dirichlet forms are derived. Moreover, our main results, when applied to a class of one-dimensional stochastic differential equations driven by symmetric $α$-stable processes, yield sharp criteria for their various ergodic properties and corre…
Two-scale criteria for Poincaré and log-Sobolev inequalities with applications to Markov chain Monte Carlo
本文提出双重尺度条件下马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛中皮卡德和对数塞伯勒不等式的充分条件，通过Φ-塞伯勒不等式框架统一发展这些条件，用于分析链迭代的函数不等式演化及误差分析。
This paper consists of four parts. In the first part, we explain what eigenvalues we are interested in and show the difficulties of the study on the first (non-trivial) eigenvalue through examples. In the second part, we present some (dual) variational formulas and explicit bounds for the first eigenvalue of Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds or Jacobi matrices (Markov chains). Here, a probabilistic approach--the coupling methods is adopted. In the third part, we introduce recent lower bounds of several basic inequalities; these are based on a generalization of Cheeger's approach which comes fr…
Using Malliavin operators together with an interpolation technique inspired by Arratia, Goldstein and Gordon (1989), we prove a new inequality on the Poisson space, allowing one to measure the distance between the laws of a general random vector, and of a target random element composed of Gaussian and Poisson random variables. Several consequences are deduced from this result, in particular: (1) new abstract criteria for multidimensional stable convergence on the Poisson space, (2) a class of mixed limit theorems, involving both Poisson and Gaussian limits, (3) criteria for the asymptotic inde…
We propose algebraic criteria that yield sharp Hölder types of inequalities for the product of functions of Gaussian random vectors with arbitrary covariance structure. While our lower inequality appears to be new, we prove that the upper inequality gives an equivalent formulation for the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality for Gaussian measures. As an application, we retrieve the Gaussian Hypercontractivity as well as its reverse and we present a generalization of the sharp Young and reverse Young inequalities. From the latter, we recover several known inequalities in literatures including the…
