Laplace's method approximates a target density with a Gaussian distribution at its mode. It is computationally efficient and asymptotically exact for Bayesian inference due to the Bernstein-von Mises theorem, but for complex targets and…

In a Bayesian inverse problem setting, the solution consists of a posterior measure obtained by combining prior belief, information about the forward operator, and noisy observational data. This measure is most often given in terms of a…

The following type exponential convergence is proved for (non-degenerate or degenerate) McKean-Vlasov SDEs: $$W_2(\mu_t,\mu_\infty)^2 +{\rm Ent}(\mu_t|\mu_\infty)\le c {\rm e}^{-\lambda t} \min\big\{W_2(\mu_0, \mu_\infty)^2,{\rm…
