= Modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality

A modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality bounds the entropy of $e^{\lambda Z}$ by a one-sided coordinate-difference energy. If that energy is at most $v$, one common normalization is
$$
\operatorname{Ent}(e^{\lambda Z})\leq\frac{\lambda^2v}{2}\mathbb Ee^{\lambda Z}.
