contents We study the connections between ordinary differential equations and optimization algorithms in a non-Euclidean setting. We propose a novel accelerated algorithm for minimising convex functions over a convex constrained set. This algorithm is a natural generalization of Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent method to the non-Euclidean setting and can be interpreted as an additive Runge-Kutta algorithm. The algorithm can also be derived as a numerical discretization of the ODE appearing in Krichene et al. (2015a). We use Lyapunov functions to establish convergence rates for the ODE and show that the discretizations considered achieve acceleration beyond the setting studied in Krichene et al. (2015a). Finally, we discuss how the proposed algorithm connects to various equations and algorithms in the literature.
