Logconcave sampling complexity improved with thin-shell stability

Researchers have demonstrated that logconcave probability measures along the Gaussian cooling path exhibit thin-shell stability. This finding extends the thin-shell theorem and results in a more efficient complexity for sampling arbitrary logconcave distributions from a cold start. Specifically, for near-isotropic logconcave distributions, the complexity is reduced to approximately $n^{2.5}$, an improvement over the previous $n^{2.75}$ bound and matching the Speedy walk complexity. AI

IMPACT This theoretical advancement could lead to more efficient methods for sampling complex data distributions, potentially impacting machine learning algorithms that rely on such sampling techniques.

    Thin-shell stability of Gaussian cooling: logconcave sampling with sesteric complexity from a cold start

    arXiv:2609.15884v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We show that logconcave probability measures along the Gaussian cooling path have thin-shell stability, generalizing the thin-shell theorem. This result leads to improved complexity for the fundamental problem of sampling an arbit…
