ABSTRACT
In the paper, the probability and the generalized Cheeger's method are used
to study the log-Sobolev and Nash inequalities for discrete-time finite
Markov chains. Thus, the quantitative estimates of hypercontractivity
and algebraic convergence for transition matrices are obtained.
Keywords: Markov chains, Log-Sobolev inequality, Nash inequality, hypercontractivity, algebraic convergence
