Stochastic algorithms for optimization have recently gain a lot of attention with the development of big data sets, because of their effective performance. It can be understood theoretically for strongly convex optimization problems, but they are also very efficient in many non-convex situations (e.g. in deep-learning). We will try to investigate the reasons of this success from a mathematical point of view.
