A problem is a dynamic programming problem if it satisfies two conditions: optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems. Optimal substructure means the optimal solution to the overall problem can be constructed from the optimal solutions of its subproblems.
Conditions: The problem can be solved using an algorithmic approach.; The problem can be divided into subproblems.

Conditions: The problem can be solved using an algorithmic approach.; The problem can be divided into subproblems.
Overlapping subproblems occur when the same smaller problem is solved multiple times during a recursive process. The Fibonacci tree makes this concrete by showing repeated calls such as fib(2) and fib(3), which cause redundant computation.
Conditions: The problem can be solved recursively.; The same subproblems appear multiple times in the recursion tree.

Richard Bellman used the term 'programming' to signify planning and decision making, not writing computer code. The term 'dynamic' refers to the ever-changing nature of the problems being solved.
Conditions: The context is the historical origin of the term 'dynamic programming'.

Optimal substructure means that the optimal solution to the overall problem can be constructed by efficiently combining the optimal solutions of its subproblems. In the route example, once the shortest SF→LA and LA→SD segments are known, they combine to give the shortest SF→SD route.
Conditions: The problem can be divided into subproblems.; The optimal solution of the main problem depends on the optimal solutions of its subproblems.
