Tóm tắt

In author’s one previous paper, the same topic was studied for one dimensional diffusions. As a continuation, this paper studies the discrete case, that is the birth-death processes. The explicit criteria for the inequalities, the variational formulas and explicit bounds of the corresponding constants in the inequalities are presented. As typical applications, the Nash inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are examined.
