Elementary proof of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for Gaussian convolutions on
[Une preuve élémentaire des inégalités de Sobolev logarithmiques pour des convolutions gaussiennes sur ]
Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal, Tome 23 (2016) no. 1, pp. 129-140.

Dans un article de 2013, l’auteur a montré que la convolution d’une mesure à support compact sur la droite réelle avec une mesure gaussienne satisfait une inégalité de Sobolev logarithmique. Dans un article de 2014, l’auteur a donné des bornes pour les constantes optimales dans ces inégalités de Sobolev logarithmiques. Dans cet article, nous donnons une preuve élémentaire simple de ce résultat.

In a 2013 paper, the author showed that the convolution of a compactly supported measure on the real line with a Gaussian measure satisfies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI). In a 2014 paper, the author gave bounds for the optimal constants in these LSIs. In this paper, we give a simpler, elementary proof of this result.
