A quantitative relationship between the diffusion coefficient $D$ of a tagged particle in a liquid and the entropy $S$ of that liquid has long been sought, as it would allow entropy to be inferred directly from diffusion measurements and…

This paper presents a finite-dimensional approximation for a class of partial differential equations on the space of probability measures. These equations are satisfied in the sense of viscosity solutions. The main result states the…

Diffusion models are one of the most important families of deep generative models. In this note, we derive a quantitative upper bound on the Wasserstein distance between the data-generating distribution and the distribution learned by a…

We derive dispersion estimates for solutions of the one-dimensional discrete perturbed Schr\"odinger and wave equations. In particular, we improve upon previous works and weaken the conditions on the potentials. To this end we also provide…

We consider a class of time-homogeneous diffusion processes on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with common invariant measure but varying volatility matrices. In Euclidean space, we show via stochastic control of the diffusion coefficient that the…

We present a way to use Stein's method in order to bound the Wasserstein distance of order $2$ between two measures $\nu$ and $\mu$ supported on $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that $\mu$ is the reversible measure of a diffusion process. In order to…

We present a new method for extracting the persistence exponent theta for the diffusion equation, based on the distribution P of `sign-times'. With the aid of a numerically verified Ansatz for P we derive an exact formula for theta in…

While the mathematical foundations of score-based generative models are increasingly well understood for unconstrained Euclidean spaces, many practical applications involve data restricted to bounded domains. This paper provides a…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of a real-valued diffusion whose non-regular drift is given as a sum of a dissipative term and a bounded measurable one. We prove that two trajectories of that diffusion converge a.s. to one another at an…
