Abstract

We consider nonconservative, reversible spin systems, with unbounded discrete spins. We show that for a class of these dynamics in a high temperature regime, the relative entropy with respect to the equilibrium distribution decays exponentially in time, although the logarithmic-Sobolev inequality fails. To this end we prove a weaker modification of the logarithmic-Sobolev inequality.
