Abstract (EN)

In this paper we prove a new family of inequalities which is intermediate between the classical Sobolev inequalities and the Gross logarithmic Sobolev inequality by the minimization of a well choosen functional and the use of recent uniqueness results for the ground state of the corresponding nonlinear scalar field equation, which allows us to identify the optimal constants . This result is then applied to the equation ut = ∆u m in IR for m ∈ [ N , 1[ (fast diffusion) and m > 1 (porous medium), thus giving an exponential rate of decay for the relative entropy to the stationary solution of a rescaled problem and describing the intermediate asymptotics in the L1(IR )-norm.
