In Figure 3, which shows the results corresponding to the experiment in case 1, as observed for instance in [28], we see that the anisotropic case does indeed show a faster convergence rate especially in the initial iterations and for λ which is of the order of σ 2 . If λ increases, though, we see no significant differences in the convergence behavior of anisotropic or isotropic dynamics, both for the residual and for the variance decrease.

Figure 4 shows the results of the comparisons in cases 3 and 2. Regarding case 2, we can see that indeed as the dimension increases, we need exponentially many particles (quantified by N) to reach high accuracy of order 10−9 . This indicates that Algorithm 1, while being quite reliable, and sometimes the only available solver for low-dimensional problems, might need further improvement in high-dimensional settings.
