First order Langevin algorithms for constrained sampling in machine learning, such as projected Langevin Monte Carlo which are based on discretizations of reflected Langevin dynamics, require differentiable log densities that limits their applicability. This paper introduces reflected anchored Langevin dynamics (RALD),...

A Hawkes process is a simple point process whose intensity depends on its history; the resulting dynamics are generally non-Markovian. We establish a sample-path moderate deviation principle for a nonlinear Hawkes process in the full moderate regime. Since a Poisson cluster representation is unavailable for nonlinear H...
This work studies global convergence guarantees of third-order Langevin dynamics for non-convex optimization via simulated annealing with fixed friction and decreasing noise via simulated annealing with fixed friction and decreasing noise.
We study global convergence guarantees of third-order Langevin dynamics for non-convex optimization via simulated annealing with fixed friction and decreasing noise. An explicit three-block distorted entropy transfers dissipation from the noisy auxiliary variable to the full state. Under dissipativity, regularity, and...
We study the underdamped (kinetic) Langevin dynamics confined to a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ by specular reflection of the velocity at the boundary. This process is the natural momentum-based analogue of the normally reflected overdamped Langevin diffusion, and it is used in practice for constrained sa...
An explicit quantitative contraction rate is established for HFHR dynamics under a position Poincar\'e inequality, weighted Hessian and Laplacian bounds, and a compact Sobolev embedding, where the potential function is not necessarily convex.
