Generalized Logarithmic Sobolev Inequality by the JKO Scheme
Abstract
Using a discrete Bakry-{É}mery method based on the JKO scheme, relying on the dissipation of entropy and Fisher information along a discrete flow, we establish new generalized logarithmic Sobolev inequality for log-concave measures of the form $e^{-V}$ under strict convexity assumptions on $V$ . We then show how this method recovers some well-known inequalities. This approach can be viewed as interpolating between the Bakry-{É}mery method and optimal transport techniques based on geodesic convexity.
