Acceleration in First Order Quasi-strongly Convex Optimization by ODE Discretization

We study gradient-based optimization methods obtained by direct Runge-Kutta discretization of the ordinary differential equation (ODE) describing the movement of a heavy-ball under constant friction coefficient. When the function is high-order smooth and strongly convex, we show that directly simula...
