Langevin Monte Carlo (LMC) is an iterative algorithm used to generate samples from a distribution that is known only up to a normalizing constant. The nonasymptotic dependence of its mixing time on the dimension and target accuracy is…

We consider solutions of L\'evy-driven stochastic differential equations of the form $\mathrm{d} X_t=\sigma(X_{t-})\mathrm{d} L_t$, $X_0=x$ where the function $\sigma$ is twice continuously differentiable and maximal of linear growth and…

Solutions of stochastic Volterra (integral) equations are not Markov processes, and therefore classical methods, like dynamic programming, cannot be used to study optimal control problems for such equations. However, we show that by using…
