We derive quantitative bounds on the rate of convergence in $L^1$ Wasserstein distance of general M-estimators, with an almost sharp (up to a logarithmic term) behavior in the number of observations. We focus on situations where the…
We study strong approximation of $d$-dimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with a discontinuous drift coefficient driven by a $d$-dimensional Brownian motion $W$. More precisely, we essentially assume that the drift…
Score-based Generative Models (SGMs) approximate a data distribution by perturbing it with Gaussian noise and subsequently denoising it via a learned reverse diffusion process. These models excel at modeling complex data distributions and…
Given two continuity equations with density-dependent velocities, we provide a new formula for the Wasserstein distance between the solutions in terms of the difference of velocities evaluated at the same density. The formula is…
\v{C}ech Persistence diagrams (PDs) are topological descriptors routinely used to capture the geometry of complex datasets. They are commonly compared using the Wasserstein distances $OT_{p}$; however, the extent to which PDs are stable…

In this paper, we use the class of Wasserstein metrics to study asymptotic properties of posterior distributions. Our first goal is to provide sufficient conditions for posterior consistency. In addition to the well-known Schwartz's…
We derive central limit theorems for the Wasserstein distance between the empirical distributions of Gaussian samples. The cases are distinguished whether the underlying laws are the same or different. Results are based on the (quadratic)…
In the case of diffusions on $\mathbb R^d$ with constant diffusion matrix, without assuming reversibility nor hypoellipticity, we prove that the contractivity of the deterministic drift is equivalent to the constant rate contraction of…
This paper is devoted to the exponential stability for one-dimensional linear wave equations with in-domain localized damping and several types of Wentzell (or dynamic) boundary conditions. In a quite general boundary setting, we establish…
We address the problem of efficiently computing Wasserstein distances for multiple pairs of distributions drawn from a meta-distribution. To this end, we propose a fast estimation method based on regressing Wasserstein distance on sliced…
Based on the assumption of the existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure for McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (MV-SDEs), a self-interacting process that depends only on the current and historical information of the…
In the context of kernel methods, the similarity between data points is encoded by the kernel function which is often defined thanks to the Euclidean distance, a common example being the squared exponential kernel. Recently, other distances…
We provide a Lyapunov convergence analysis for time-inhomogeneous variable coefficient stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Three typical examples include overdamped, irreversible drift, and underdamped Langevin dynamics. We first…
The fact that a Markov diffusion semi-group on $\mathbb R^d$ contracts the $L^p$ Wasserstein distance, which has been extensively used to establish uniform-in-time stability estimates (e.g. with respect to numerical discretization errors),…
In this paper, we investigate the exponential ergodicity in a Wasserstein-type distance for a damping Hamiltonian dynamics with state-dependent and non-local collisions, which indeed is a special case of piecewise deterministic Markov…

We study the Wasserstein gradient flow of the Sinkhorn divergence when both the source and the target are Gaussian distributions. We prove the existence of a flow that stays in the class of Gaussian distributions, and is unique in the…
Despite the remarkable empirical success of score-based diffusion models, their statistical guarantees remain underdeveloped. Existing analyses often provide pessimistic convergence rates that do not reflect the intrinsic low-dimensional…
