In mathematics and physics, the term "adjoint equation" often arises in the context of linear differential equations, functional analysis, and optimal control theory. The specific meaning can depend on the context in which it is used. Here’s a brief overview of its applications: 1. **Linear Differential Equations**: In the analysis of linear differential equations, the adjoint of a linear operator is typically another linear operator that reflects certain properties of the original operator.
