Robustness of the Gaussian concentration inequality and the Brunn–Minkowski inequality [PDF]

open access: greenCalculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations, 2017
We provide a sharp quantitative version of the Gaussian concentration inequality: for every $r>0$, the difference between the measure of the $r$-enlargement of a given set and the $r$-enlargement of a half-space controls the square of the measure of the symmetric difference between the set and a suitable half-space.

Poincar\'e inequality for non euclidean metrics and transportation cost inequalities on $\mathbb{R}^d$ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, we consider Poincar\'e inequalities for non euclidean metrics on $\mathbb{R}^d$. These inequalities enable us to derive precise dimension free concentration inequalities for product measures. This technique is appropriate for a large scope

Noncommutative martingale concentration inequalities [PDF]

open access: yesIllinois Journal of Mathematics, 2014
We establish an Azuma type inequality under a Lipshitz condition for martingales in the framework of noncommutative probability spaces and apply it to deduce a noncommutative Heoffding inequality as well as a noncommutative McDiarmid type inequality. We also provide a noncommutative Azuma inequality for noncommutative supermartingales in which instead ...

Functional Inequalities for Two-Level Concentration [PDF]

open access: yesPotential Analysis, 2021
AbstractProbability measures satisfying a Poincaré inequality are known to enjoy a dimension-free concentration inequality with exponential rate. A celebrated result of Bobkov and Ledoux shows that a Poincaré inequality automatically implies a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality. As a consequence the Poincaré inequality ensures a stronger dimension-

Inequalities in the utilisation of maternal health Care in Rural India: Evidences from National Family Health Survey III & IV

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2020
Background Since the implementation of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in 2005, Maternal Mortality Ratio has significantly declined in India through a noticeable improvement in maternal health care services. However, India did not succeed to achieve
