We obtain and study new $Phi$-entropy inequalities for diffusion semigroups, with Poincare or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities as particular cases. From this study we derive the asymptotic behaviour of a large class of linear Fokker-Plank type equations under simple conditions, widely extending previous results. Nonlinear diffusion equations are also studied by means of these inequalities. The $Gamma_2$ criterion of D. Bakry and M. Emery appears as a main tool in the analysis, in local or integral forms.

We investigate the dissipativity properties of a class of scalar second order parabolic partial differential equations with time-dependent coefficients. We provide explicit condition on the drift term which ensure that the relative entropy of one par ticular orbit with respect to some other one decreases to zero. The decay rate is obtained explicitly by the use of a Sobolev logarithmic inequality for the associated semigroup, which is derived by an adaptation of Bakrys $Gamma-$ calculus. As a byproduct, the systematic method for constructing entropies which we propose here also yields the well-known intermediate asymptotics for the heat equation in a very quick way, and without having to rescale the original equation.
We investigate the Renyi entropy of independent sums of integer valued random variables through Fourier theoretic means, and give sharp comparisons between the variance and the Renyi entropy, for Poisson-Bernoulli variables. As applications we prove that a discrete ``min-entropy power is super additive on independent variables up to a universal constant, and give new bounds on an entropic generalization of the Littlewood-Offord problem that are sharp in the ``Poisson regime.
Concentration properties of functionals of general Poisson processes are studied. Using a modified $Phi$-Sobolev inequality a recursion scheme for moments is established, which is of independent interest. This is applied to derive moment and concentr ation inequalities for functionals on abstract Poisson spaces. Applications of the general results in stochastic geometry, namely Poisson cylinder models and Poisson random polytopes, are presented as well.
We establish a discrete analog of the Renyi entropy comparison due to Bobkov and Madiman. For log-concave variables on the integers, the min entropy is within log e of the usual Shannon entropy. Additionally we investigate the entropic Rogers-Shephar d inequality studied by Madiman and Kontoyannis, and establish a sharp Renyi version for certain parameters in both the continuous and discrete cases
In his work about hypocercivity, Villani [18] considers in particular convergence to equilibrium for the kinetic Langevin process. While his convergence results in L 2 are given in a quite general setting, convergence in entropy requires some bounded ness condition on the Hessian of the Hamiltonian. We will show here how to get rid of this assumption in the study of the hypocoercive entropic relaxation to equilibrium for the Langevin diffusion. Our method relies on a generalization to entropy of the multipliers method and an adequate functional inequality. As a byproduct, we also give tractable conditions for this functional inequality, which is a particular instance of a weighted logarithmic Sobolev inequality, to hold.
