Since their introduction in the early sixties (Rényi in Proc. Fourth Berkeley Symp. Math. Statist. Prob., vol. 1, pp. 547---561, 1961), the Rényi entropies have been used in many contexts, ranging from information theory to astrophysics, turbulence phenomena and others. In this note, we enlighten the main connections between Rényi entropies and nonlinear diffusion equations. In particular, it is shown that these relationships allow to prove various functional inequalities in sharp form. |
