The given relative Fisher information inequality is . Multiplying by and integrating gives relative Fisher information decay under Ornstein-Uhlenbeck flow:In particular when is finite; if necessary one starts at a positive time with finite information. It follows that .
Write . It is nonnegative and decreasing, so has a finite limit when . The printed integrability request concerns the product . Its sign is nonpositive, and the fundamental theorem of calculus givesPassing to proves time integrability of an entropy-dissipation product:Also . The zero value of will be used as supplied in (f); positivity and monotonicity alone only establish existence of the limit.
