 Solution

Use the zero entropy limit supplied in this subpart. By the fundamental theorem of calculus and the entropy dissipation identity for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck flow,Apply the relative Fisher information decay estimate starting at time $t$:Thus the requested entropy-dissipation inequality isIt is the Gaussian logarithmic Sobolev inequality along this evolution. Since $H^{\prime }\le -2H$, an integrating factor gives the entropy convergence rate for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck flow:For finite initial entropy, $f_t$ therefore converges to the stationary Gaussian density in relative entropy at rate $2$. If desired, Pinsker's inequality also converts this to the density estimate $\Vert f_t-\gamma {\Vert }_{L^1}\le \sqrt{2H(f_0\mid \gamma )}{e}^{-t}$.
