Abstract

We show that an information-theoretic property of Shannon's entropy power, known as concavity of entropy power [7], can be fruitfully employed to prove inequalities in sharp form. In particular, the concavity of entropy power implies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and the Nash's inequality with the sharp constant.
