The Tamed Subgradient Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm beyond Convexity

We study the problem of sampling from target distributions whose potentials are simultaneously non-smooth, subject to superlinear gradient growth, and non-convex. We introduce the Subgradient Tamed Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (SG-TULA), a discretisation of the Langevin diffusion that operates directly on subgradients, without relying on computationally demanding smoothing procedures.

Accelerated sampling using SamAdams variable timesteps and position-adaptive Langevin dynamics

arXiv:2606. 26881v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce an accelerated Langevin-based sampling method that is based on two complementary devices: \emph{SamAdams} adaptive timestepping, which automatically shrinks the effective integration step in stiff regions of phase space using a relaxed stiffness monitor, and \emph{position-adaptive Langevin} (PAL) dynamics, which concentrates friction along the local force direction while preserving the canonical distribution as the exact invariant measure.

Randomized Midpoint Method for Log-Concave Sampling under Constraints

arXiv:2405. 15379v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we study the problem of sampling from log-concave distributions supported on convex and compact sets, with a particular focus on the randomized midpoint discretization of both overdamped and kinetic Langevin diffusions in constrained domains.
