Mirrored langevin dynamics

YP Hsieh, A Kavis, P Rolland… - Advances in Neural …, 2018 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We consider the problem of sampling from constrained distributions, which has posed
significant challenges to both non-asymptotic analysis and algorithmic design. We propose …

Universality of langevin diffusion for private optimization, with applications to sampling from rashomon sets

A Ganesh, A Thakurta… - The Thirty Sixth Annual …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
In this paper we provide an algorithmic framework based on Langevin diffusion (LD) and its
corresponding discretizations that allow us to simultaneously obtain: i) An algorithm for …

How good is your Laplace approximation of the Bayesian posterior? Finite-sample computable error bounds for a variety of useful divergences

MJ Kasprzak, R Giordano, T Broderick - arXiv preprint arXiv:2209.14992, 2022 - arxiv.org
The Laplace approximation is a popular method for providing posterior mean and variance
estimates. But can we trust these estimates for practical use? One might consider using rate …

Stein kernels and moment maps

M Fathi - The Annals of Probability, 2019 - JSTOR
We describe a construction of Stein kernels using moment maps, which are solutions to a
variant of the Monge–Ampère equation. As a consequence, we show how regularity bounds …

The Brownian transport map

D Mikulincer, Y Shenfeld - Probability Theory and Related Fields, 2024 - Springer
Contraction properties of transport maps between probability measures play an important
role in the theory of functional inequalities. The actual construction of such maps, however …

Brascamp–Lieb-type inequalities on weighted Riemannian manifolds with boundary

AV Kolesnikov, E Milman - The Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2017 - Springer
It is known that by dualizing the Bochner–Lichnerowicz–Weitzenböck formula, one obtains
Poincaré-type inequalities on Riemannian manifolds equipped with a density, which satisfy …

On the local version of the Log-Brunn–Minkowski conjecture and some new related geometric inequalities

AV Kolesnikov, GV Livshyts - … Mathematics Research Notices, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We prove that for any semi-norm on and any symmetric convex body in (1) and characterize
the equality cases of this new inequality. The above would also follow from the Log-Brunn …

On the Gardner-Zvavitch conjecture: symmetry in inequalities of Brunn-Minkowski type

AV Kolesnikov, GV Livshyts - Advances in Mathematics, 2021 - Elsevier
In this paper, we study the conjecture of Gardner and Zvavitch from [22], which suggests that
the standard Gaussian measure γ enjoys 1 n-concavity with respect to the Minkowski …

On a conjectural symmetric version of Ehrhard's inequality

G Livshyts - Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 2024 - ams.org
We formulate a plausible conjecture for the optimal Ehrhard-type inequality for convex
symmetric sets with respect to the Gaussian measure. Namely, letting $ J_ {k-1}(s)=\int^ s_0 …
