Convex Sobolev inequalities related to unbalanced optimal transport
Abstract
We study the behaviour of various Lyapunov functionals (relative entropies) along the solutions of a family of nonlinear drift-diffusion-reaction equations coming from statistical mechanics and population dynamics. These equations can be viewed as gradient flows over the space of Radon measures equipped with the Hellinger-Kantorovich distance. The driving functionals of the gradient flows are not assumed to be geodesically convex or semi-convex. We prove new isoperimetric-type functional inequalities, allowing us to control the relative entropies by their productions, which yields the exponential decay of the relative entropies.
