contents We study the convergence of Nesterov Accelerated Gradient (NAG) minimization algorithmapplied to a class of non convex functions called strongly quasar convex functions. We show thatNAG can achieve an accelerated convergence speed at the cost of a lower curvature assumption.We provide a continuous analysis through high resolution ODEs, where we show that despite thatnegative friction may appear, the solution of the system achieves accelerated rate of convergenceto the minimum. Finally, we identify the key geometrical property that, if dropped, theoreticallycancels the acceleration phenomenon.
