Poincaré and Log–Sobolev Inequalities for Mixtures

This work studies mixtures of probability measures on R n and gives bounds on the Poincaré and the log–Sobolev constants of two-component mixtures provided that each component satisfies the functional inequality, and both components are close in the χ 2 -distance. The estimation of th...
