The efficiency of a Markov sampler based on the underdamped Langevin diffusion is studied for high dimensional targets with convex and smooth potentials. We consider a classical second-order integrator which requires only one gradient…

We consider Hermitian random band matrices $H$ in $d \geq 1 $ dimensions. The matrix elements $H_{xy},$ indexed by $x, y \in \Lambda \subset \mathbb{Z}^d,$ are independent, uniformly distributed random variable if $|x-y| $ is less than the…

Recent progress has been made in establishing normal approximation bounds in terms of the Wasserstein-$p$ distance for i.i.d. and locally dependent random variables. However, for $p > 1$, no such results have been demonstrated for dependent…
