 d\nThesis advisor: Prof. Volkan Cevher\nCo-examiner: Prof. Patrick Thiran\
 n\nAbstract\nIn the recent years\, there has been an increasing number of 
 works that couples continuous-time processes with iterative descent method
 s in optimization literature to provide alternative perspective to converg
 ence analysis and develop new algorithms.\n\nBackground papers\nCoupling a
 nd Convergence for Hamiltonian Monte Carlo\, by Bou-Rabee\, N.\, et al.\nA
  Variational Perspective on Accelerated Methods in Optimization\, by Wibis
