Improved Analysis for Hessian-free High-resolution Monte Carlo Sampling

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 25, 2026 · UTC

Hessian-free high-resolution (HFHR) dynamics augments underdamped Langevin dynamics (ULD) with reversible position diffusion for sampling problems that arise in machine learning. We establish an explicit quantitative contraction rate for HFHR dynamics under a position Poincaré inequality, weighted Hessian and Laplacian bounds, and a compact Sobolev embedding, where the potential function is not necessarily convex. An adapted time-augmented Poincaré inequality yields an explicit rate that improves upon the contraction rate of the underdamped Langevin dynamics. We also give a weak-solution const
