We provide new convergence guarantees in Wasserstein distance for diffusion-based generative models, covering both stochastic (DDPM-like) and deterministic (DDIM-like) sampling methods. We introduce a simple framework to analyze…

In this paper, we define the generalized Wasserstein distance for sets of Borel probability measures and demonstrate that the weak convergence of sublinear expectations can be characterized by means of this distance.

The convergence rate in Wasserstein distance is estimated for the empirical measures of symmetric semilinear SPDEs. Unlike in the finite-dimensional case that the convergence is of algebraic order in time, in the present situation the…

For $\ell\colon \mathbb{R}^d \to [0,\infty)$ we consider the sequence of probability measures $\left(\mu_n\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$, where $\mu_n$ is determined by a density that is proportional to $\exp(-n\ell)$. We allow for infinitely…
