A probabilistic approach to convex -entropy decay for Markov chains
Giovanni Conforti
We study the exponential dissipation of entropic functionals for continuous time Markov chains and the associated convex Sobolev inequalities, including MLSI and Beckner inequaliti…
A formula for the time derivative of the entropic cost and applications
Giovanni Conforti, Luca Tamanini
In the recent years the Schrödinger problem has gained a lot of attention because of the connection, in the small-noise regime, with the Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport problem…
The mean field Schrödinger problem: ergodic behavior, entropy estimates and functional inequalities
Julio Backhoff-Veraguas, Giovani Conforti, Ivan Gentil +1
We study the mean field Schrödinger problem (MFSP), that is the problem of finding the most likely evolution of a cloud of interacting Brownian particles conditionally on the obser…
Around the entropic Talagrand inequality
Giovanni Conforti, Luigia Ripani
In this article we study generalization of the classical Talagrand transport-entropy inequality in which the Wasserstein distance is replaced by the entropic transportation cost. T…
Approximating conditional distributions
Alberto Chiarini, Alessandra Cipriani, Giovanni Conforti
In this article, we discuss the basic ideas of a general procedure to adapt the Stein-Chen method to bound the distance between conditional distributions. From an integration-by-pa…
Fluctuations of bridges, reciprocal characteristics, and concentration of measure
Giovanni Conforti
Conditions on the generator of a Markov process to control the fluctuations of its bridges are found. In particular, continuous time random walks on graphs and gradient diffusions…
