Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities for Bounded Domains and Applications to Drift-Diffusion Equations

Abstract

We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequalities on higher-dimensional bounded smooth domains based on novel Gagliardo-Nirenberg type interpolation inequalities. Moreover, we use them to address the long-time dynamics of some nonlinear nonlocal drift-diffusion models and prove the exponential decay of their solutions to constant steady states.
