The study investigates convergence of stochastic time-discretization schemes in probability measures, suggesting new insights into their behavior.
We study the convergence of stochastic time-discretization schemes for evolution equations driven by random velocity fields, including examples like stochastic gradient descent and interacting particle systems. Using a unified framework based on Multivalued Probability Vector Fields, we analyze these dynamics at the level of probability measures in the Wasserstein space. Under suitable dissipativity and boundedness conditions, we prove that the laws of the interpolated trajectories converge to those of a limiting evolution governed by a maximal dissipative extension of the associated barycentric field. This provides a general measure-theoretic study for the convergence of stochastic schemes in continuous time.
