We study several constrained variational problem in the 2-Wasserstein metric for which the set of probability densities satisfying the constraint is not closed. For example, given a probability density $F_0$ on $\R^d$ and a time-step $h>0$,…

Priors with non-smooth log-densities, such as the l1-prior, are widely used in Bayesian inverse problems for their sparsity-inducing properties. Existing Langevin-based sampling methods typically rely on proximal mappings or smooth…

Langevin diffusion processes and their discretizations are often used for sampling from a target density. The most convenient framework for assessing the quality of such a sampling scheme corresponds to smooth and strongly log-concave…
