Multilevel Picard approximations for McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations with nonconstant diffusion

arXiv:2502.03205v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce multilevel Picard (MLP) approximations for McKean--Vlasov stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with nonconstant diffusion coefficient. Under standard Lipschitz assumptions on the coefficients, we show that the MLP algorithm approximates the solution of the SDE in the $L^2$-sense without the curse of dimensionality. The latter means that its computational cost grows at most polynomially in both the dimension and the...

The Last of the D-Day Veterans

Joe Picard perched atop a precarious mound of 300-plus-pound high-explosive shells as his ship churned toward Normandy’s beaches. The teenager had been at sea only once before, to cross the Atlantic, and now he was sailing across the English Channel to pile into the breach that Allied forces had opened in Hitler’s defenses weeks earlier, on D-Day. Smoke from the fighting still rose on the horizon, but Picard’s eyes scanned the gray water below for signs of German U-boats.

As Ethiopians head to the polls, François Picard is pleased to welcome Jervin Naidoo, Political Analyst at Oxford Economics Africa. While official narratives emphasise stability and democratic progress, significant portions of the country remain excluded from voting, raising concerns about representation, legitimacy, and the consolidation of power. Naidoo argues that while voting has proceeded in much of the country, the exclusion of Tigray and dozens of constituencies elsewhere constitutes...

Oddone hails EU-Mercosur accord's 'civilisational approach' beyond commercial and economic interests

Français Picard is pleased to welcome Gabriel Oddone, economist, professor and Uruguay's Economy and Finance Minister. He offers a striking defense of the social democratic model at a moment when much of Latin America appears to be espousing hard right socio-political and economic policies. Speaking at the OECD's Latin America Forum in Paris, Oddone argues that Uruguay's commitment to the welfare state, fiscal responsibility, and inequality reduction is not an ideological anomaly but the...

A Unifying View of Anchoring via Operator-Side Tikhonov Regularization

Announce Type: cross Abstract: Anchored fixed point and monotone equation methods, including Halpern iteration, extra anchored gradient, and their relatives, add a vanishing pull toward a reference point to obtain last-iterate guarantees. Existing anchored variants often achieve sharp last-iterate guarantees, but from the update-level perspective the placement of the anchor can be algorithm-specific and conceptually opaque. We show that anchoring admits a single operator-side construction:...
