Weak Poincaré Inequalities for Convergence Rate of Degenerate Diffusion Processes
arXiv:1703.04821
Abstract
For a contraction -semigroup on a separable Hilbert space, the decay rate is estimated by using the weak Poincaré inequalities for the symmetric and anti-symmetric part of the generator. As applications, non-exponential convergence rate is characterized for a class of degenerate diffusion processes, so that the study of hypocoercivity is extended. Concrete examples are presented.
