   Abstract:
   We establish L²-exponential convergence rate for three popular piecewise deterministic Markov processes for sampling: the randomized Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method, the zigzag process and the bouncy particle sampler. Our analysis is based on a variational framework for hypocoercivity, which combines a Poincaré-type inequality in time-augmented state space and a standard L² energy estimate. Our analysis provides explicit convergence rate estimates, which are more quantitative than existing results.
