Wang, Feng Yu et Zhang, Qi Zhi, Weak Poincar Inequalities, Decay of Markov Semigroups and Concentration of Measures, Acta mathematica Sinica. English series (Print) , 21(4), 2005, pp. 937-942
For a reasonable class of weak Poincar inequalities, the decay of the corresponding Markov semigroups obtained earlier by Rckner and the first named author is improved by removing an extra L 2norm. Next, a concentration estimate of the reference measure is presented for the weak Poincar inequality, which is sharp as illustrated by some examples of onedimensional diffusion processes.
