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.
This method was governed by a variational principle applied to a certain function. The resulting variational relation was then treated by introducing some unknown multipliers in connection with constraint relations. After the elimination of these multipliers the generalized momenta were found to be certain functions of the partial derivatives of the Hamilton Jacobi function with respect to the generalized coordinates and the time. Then the partial differential equation of the classical Hamilton-Jacobi method was modified by inserting these functions for the generalized momenta in the Hamiltonian of the system.

Jacobi iteration is used to diagonalize a matrix or system of equations, by applying well-chosen rotations. These rotations are chosen to zero particular off-diagonal elements. It might be guessed that the process would only need to be done once for each off-diagonal element, but in fact each iteration destroys some of the zeros created during previous iterations. Nevertheless, the process does converge to a diagonal system.
