DHCP and Dynamic DNS are quite often used together, but it is not a
requirement.
You can easily have Dynamic DNS enabled on a (sub)domain (zone) that has
statically configured clients in it. The zone file won't get many
(any?) updates.
I have a number of zones with statically configured clients using DDNS
so that BIND will mange the DNSSEC for me.
With DDNS enabled, you can use the nsupdate command to add / change /
remove records from the zone.

Statically configured machines won't reach out to the DNS server to get
their configuration. That's where the "static configuration" comes into
play.

The hosts set their own name, and optionally give DDNS updates.

That's going to be difficult. There's no good way for a DNS server to
know when a host is offline.
Some DHCP servers will approximate this behavior by watching for a DHCP
release message and / or periodically pinging IPs that have been leased
to see if the client is still on line. Further, some DHCP servers will
reap DNS records for clients that are offline.

DDNS for a static subnet is simple, just follow any DDNS tutorial, minus
the DHCP part.

Good luck.
