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.

The paper establishes a first‑order theoretical framework for diffusion models, showing that SDE‑based reverse‑time flows of both overdamped and underdamped Langevin diffusions contract relative Fisher divergences at explicit exponential rates when the stationary potential of the forward process is strongly convex. It further incorporates discretization to provide averaged first‑order stationarity bounds—sampling analogues of averaged gradient‑norm guarantees in nonconvex optimization—for samplers of both diffusion models. These results highlight a unique advantage of SDE‑based reverse diffusion over ODE‑based approaches, offering local convexity‑free certificates that ensure score consistency rather than global mode weights.
