We derive a lower bound on the smallest output entropy that can be achieved via vector quantization of a $d$-dimensional source with given expected $r$th-power distortion. Specialized to the one-dimensional case, and in the limit of…

For $V : \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$ coercive, we study the convergence rate for the $L^1$-distance of the empiric minimizer, which is the true minimum of the function $V$ sampled with noise with a finite number $n$ of samples, to the…

Denoising diffusions are a powerful method to generate approximate samples from high-dimensional data distributions. Recent results provide polynomial bounds on their convergence rate, assuming $L^2$-accurate scores. Until now, the tightest…
