English abstract:
1. Motivation: heat equation and logarithmic entropy - some PDEs in applications - what are these methods good for?
2. Entropy: definitons and examples - heat equations revisited - the Boltzmann equation and the H-theorem
3. Fokker-Planck equation: long-time asymptotics of the heat equation
-logarithmic Sobolev inequalities - nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations
- the Bakry-Emery method
4. Further applications: symmetrization and entropies - construction of entropies
Keywords:
Entropy methods, Fokker-Planck equations
