The sequence of steps is the result of dynamic programming. Not every sequence of steps is a dynamic programme. And (what I would argue are) the core results are fairly mathematical, memoization and recursion don't feature, but partial differential equations do. Check out the Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equation to get a flavour.
