Abstract
Improved entropy decay estimates for the heat equation are obtained by selecting well-parametrized Gaussians. Either by mass centering or by fixing the second moments or the covariance matrix of the solution, relative entropy toward these Gaussians is shown to decay with better constants than classical estimates.
