Towards a complete analysis of langevin monte carlo: Beyond poincaré inequality

A Mousavi-Hosseini, TK Farghly, Y He… - The Thirty Sixth …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
Langevin diffusions are rapidly convergent under appropriate functional inequality
assumptions. Hence, it is natural to expect that with additional smoothness conditions to …

Existence of Stein kernels under a spectral gap, and discrepancy bounds

TA Courtade, M Fathi, A Pananjady - 2019 - projecteuclid.org
We establish existence of Stein kernels for probability measures on R^d satisfying a
Poincaré inequality, and obtain bounds on the Stein discrepancy of such measures …

A note on Talagrand's transportation inequality and logarithmic Sobolev inequality

P Cattiaux, A Guillin, LM Wu - Probability theory and related fields, 2010 - Springer
We give by simple arguments sufficient conditions, so called Lyapunov conditions, for
Talagrand's transportation information inequality and for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality …

Central limit theorems for additive functionals of ergodic Markov diffusions processes

P Cattiaux, D Chafai, A Guillin - arXiv preprint arXiv:1104.2198, 2011 - arxiv.org
We revisit functional central limit theorems for additive functionals of ergodic Markov
diffusion processes. Translated in the language of partial differential equations of evolution …

Coercive inequalities on metric measure spaces

W Hebisch, B Zegarlinski - arXiv preprint arXiv:0905.1713, 2009 - arxiv.org
We study coercive inequalities on finite dimensional metric spaces with probability
measures which do not have volume doubling property. This class of inequalities includes …

Weak Poincar\'e Inequalities for Markov chains: theory and applications

C Andrieu, A Lee, S Power, AQ Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.11689, 2023 - arxiv.org
We investigate the application of Weak Poincar\'e Inequalities (WPI) to Markov chains to
study their rates of convergence and to derive complexity bounds. At a theoretical level we …

Poincar\'e inequalities for Markov chains: a meeting with Cheeger, Lyapunov and Metropolis

C Andrieu, A Lee, S Power, AQ Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2208.05239, 2022 - arxiv.org

ergodic Markov chains. Motivated by the application of Markov chains in the context of …

Fractional diffusion for Fokker–Planck equation with heavy tail equilibrium: An à la Koch spectral method in any dimension

D Dechicha, M Puel - Asymptotic Analysis, 2024 - journals.sagepub.com
In this paper, we extend the spectral method developed (Dechicha and Puel) to any
dimension d⩾ 1, in order to construct an eigen-solution for the Fokker–Planck operator with …
