ZOPPA at fixed positive temperature converges under minimal assumptions by acting as an exact proximal point method on a smoothed objective, with explicit connections back to the original function and convergence for its sampled version.
A stochastic particle system is proposed in Hilbert spaces with associated mean-field limit, establishing well-posedness, consensus analysis, and convergence to the minimizer under suitable assumptions on the objective, plus a finite-particle algorithm.
