Reversible Stratonovich perturbations for accelerating convergence to equilibrium of Langevin dynamics

In this paper, we study the problem of sampling from a probability distribution using Langevin-type dynamics. We consider overdamped Langevin dynamics perturbed by adding a Stratonovich perturbation that preserves reversibility. We prove an optimal scaling for the Stratonovich perturbation applied to Gaussian target di...
