In this paper, we propose a continuous-time formulation for the AdaGrad, RMSProp, and Adam optimization algorithms by modeling them as first-order integro-differential equations. We perform numerical simulations of these equations, along with stability and convergence analyses, to demonstrate their validity as accurate approximations of the original algorithms. Our results indicate a strong agreement between the behavior of the continuous-time models and the discrete implementations, thus providing a new perspective on the theoretical understanding of adaptive optimization methods.

  1. Adam-HNAG: A Convergent Reformulation of Adam with Accelerated Rate

    math.OC 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Adam-HNAG is a splitting-based reformulation of Adam that yields the first convergence proof for Adam-type methods, including accelerated rates, in convex smooth optimization.
