We consider strictly log-concave measures, whose bounds degenerate at infinity. We prove that the optimal transport map from the Gaussian onto such a measure is locally Lipschitz, and that the eigenvalues of its Jacobian have controlled…

We derive explicit bounds for the computation of normalizing constants $Z$ for log-concave densities $\pi = \exp(-U)/Z$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our approach relies on a Gaussian annealing combined with recent…

We establish a log-Sobolev inequality for the stationary distribution of mean-field Langevin dynamics with a constant that is independent of the number of particles $N$. Our proof proceeds by establishing the existence of a Lipschitz…

We compare and combine two approaches that have been recently introduced by Dafnis and Paouris [DP] and by Klartag and Milman [KM] with the aim of providing bounds for the isotropic constants of convex bodies. By defining a new hereditary…

Monitoring and control of traffic networks represent alternative, inexpensive strategies to minimize traffic congestion. As the number of traffic sensors is naturally constrained by budgetary requirements, real-time estimation of traffic…

Langevin dynamics are widely used in sampling high-dimensional, non-Gaussian distributions whose densities are known up to a normalizing constant. In particular, there is strong interest in unadjusted Langevin algorithms (ULA), which…
