We study the underdamped Langevin dynamics with invariant measure $\mu(\,\mathrm{d}x\,\mathrm{d}v)\propto \mathrm{e}^{-U(x)-\lvert v\rvert^2/2}\,\mathrm{d}x\,\mathrm{d}v$. Assume that the position marginal $\mu_x(\,\mathrm{d}x)\propto…

Adaptive Langevin dynamics is a method for sampling the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution at prescribed temperature in cases where the potential gradient is subject to stochastic perturbation of unknown magnitude. The method replaces the…
We consider the convergence of kinetic Langevin dynamics to its ergodic invariant measure, which is Gibbs distribution. Instead of the standard setup where the friction coefficient is a constant scalar, we investigate position-dependent…
