Paper 208

With the same $h$, the squared <Hellinger distance> is
$$
d_H(f,\phi)^2=\frac12\int(h-1)^2d\gamma
=1-\int h\,d\gamma.
$$
Since $0\leq\int h\,d\gamma\leq1$,
$$
1-\int h\,d\gamma
\leq1-\left(\int h\,d\gamma\right)^2
=\operatorname{Var}_\gamma h.
$$
The <Gaussian Poincaré inequality> and the derivative calculation in part (b) yield
$$
d_H(f,\phi)^2\leq\frac14J(f\Vert\phi).
$$
