I wonder if it’s a variation of a travelling salesman problem?

Dood.

Travelling Salesman is a classic problem in discrete math. It has to do with routings and minimization of paths. Not analytical functions and differential equations, which are part of differential calculus.

Now that I think about it, discrete math problems can be fomulated in terms of analytic functions, I suppose, but that's advanced (beyond me) math territory and typically not the classic way to approach a DiffEq problem.

You know, you could just look this up if you cared enough.
