Gaussian Integration by Parts Relative to a Diagonal Gaussian Measure for Functions with a Bounded Hessian

For a measure of finite Fisher information relative to a diagonal Gaussian, the pairing of its relative score with the gradient of a function with bounded Hessian equals minus the integral of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck generator applied to the function.

Statement

In the settings of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background and The Intrinsic Calculus on the Wasserstein Space: Standing Notation, let cc be a variance vector, with scaling map ScS_{c}, and let γc\gamma_{c} be the diagonal Gaussian measure with variances cc. Being of class C2C^{2} on Rd\mathbb{R}^{d}, and the gradient Df(x)Df(x) and the partial derivatives of such a function, are those of Differential Calculus and Convexity on Euclidean Open Sets: Standing Notation §derivatives, Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} being open by claim 1 of Euclidean Space is Open in Itself, and CkC^k Maps are Continuous; Δf\Delta f is the Laplacian and u⋅vu\cdot v the dot product; integrable is as in Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation §measures. Let M∈RM\in\mathbb{R} be nonnegative and let f:Rd→Rf:\mathbb{R}^{d}\to\mathbb{R} be of class C2C^{2} on Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} with ∣∂j∂if(x)∣≤M|\partial_{j}\partial_{i}f(x)|\le M for all x∈Rdx\in\mathbb{R}^{d} and i,j∈[d]i,j\in[d]. For μ∈P2(Rd)\mu\in\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) the class Df∈L2(μ;Rd)Df\in L^{2}(\mu;\mathbb{R}^{d}) of the gradient map is that of Integrals of Functions with a Bounded Hessian are Intrinsic Test Functions on the Wasserstein Space §integrable, and the class Sc∈L2(μ;Rd)S_{c}\in L^{2}(\mu;\mathbb{R}^{d}) is that of Finite Fisher Information Relative to a Diagonal Gaussian Measure: the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Functional, the Relative Score and the Relative Fisher Information.

1. (The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck generator) The function

Lcf:Rd→R,Lcf(x)=Δf(x)−Sc(x)⋅Df(x),L_{c}f:\mathbb{R}^{d}\to\mathbb{R},\qquad L_{c}f(x)=\Delta f(x)-S_{c}(x)\cdot Df(x),

is Borel and integrable with respect to every μ∈P2(Rd)\mu\in\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}).

2. (Integration by parts) Let μ∈P2(Rd)\mu\in\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) have finite Fisher information relative to γc\gamma_{c}, with relative score ζμc\zeta^{c}_{\mu}. Then

⟨ζμc,Df⟩μ=−∫RdLcf dμ.\langle\zeta^{c}_{\mu},Df\rangle_{\mu}=-\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}L_{c}f\,d\mu .
