Bounding Relative Entropy by the Relative Entropy of Local Specifications in Product Spaces

The above inequality implies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for q. We get an explicit lower bound for the logarithmic Sobolev constant of q under the assumptions that: (i) the local specifications of q satisfy logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with constants ρi, and (ii) they also satisfy some condition expressing that the mixed partial derivatives of the Hamiltonian of q are not too large relative to the logarithmic Sobolev constants ρi.
