All the optimization problems in Computer Science have a predecessor analogue in continuous domain and they are generally expressed in the form of either functional differential equation or partial differential equation. A classic example is the Hamiltonian Jacobi Bellman equation which is the precursor of Bellman Ford algorithm in CS.
A differential equation is a measure of change. If differencing with respect to time, it is the rate of change. Location, when differentiated, gives velocity. Velocity, when differentiated, gives acceleration. There are significant applications across all aspects of science.
ordinary differential equation is obtained only one independent variable and partial differential equation is obtained more than one variable.
It is the solution of a differential equation without there being any restrictions on the variables (No boundary conditions are given). Presence of arbitrary constants indicates a general solution, the number of arbitrary constants depending on the order of the differential equation.
Yes, it is.
