  2. List of unsolved problems in computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    NC = P problem The P vs NP problem is a major unsolved question in computer science that asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified by a computer (NP) can also be quickly solved by a computer (P). This question has profound implications for fields such as cryptography, algorithm design, and computational theory.

  3. Problem statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_statement

    The main purpose of a problem statement is to identify and explain the problem. [3] [4] Another function of the problem statement is as a communication device. [3] Before the project begins, stakeholders verify the problem and goals are accurately described in the problem statement. Once approved, the project reviews it.

  4. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem-solving processes differ across knowledge domains and across levels of expertise. [59] For this reason, cognitive sciences findings obtained in the laboratory cannot necessarily generalize to problem-solving situations outside the laboratory. This has led to a research emphasis on real-world problem solving, since the 1990s.

  5. Root cause analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_cause_analysis

    In science and engineering, root cause analysis (RCA) is a method of problem solving used for identifying the root causes of faults or problems. [1] It is widely used in IT operations, manufacturing, telecommunications, industrial process control, accident analysis (e.g., in aviation, [2] rail transport, or nuclear plants), medical diagnosis, the healthcare industry (e.g., for epidemiology ...

    The manual and subsequent course material were piloted at Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. Ford refers to their current variant as G8D (Global 8D). The Ford 8Ds manual is extensive and covers chapter by chapter how to go about addressing, quantifying, and resolving engineering issues.

  7. Research question - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_question

    The answer to a research question will help address a research problem or question. [5] Specifying a research question, "the central issue to be resolved by a formal dissertation, thesis, or research project," [6] is typically one of the first steps an investigator takes when undertaking research.

  8. Situational theory of problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situational_theory_of...

    The situational theory of problem solving attempts to explain why and how an individual communicates during a problematic situation. The situational theory of problem solving (STOPS) was proposed by Jeong-Nam Kim and James E. Grunig in 2011 though their article “problem solving and communicative action: A situational theory of problem solving.”

  9. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    This is not the case for arbitrary coin systems or even some real world systems, though. For instance, if we consider the old (now withdrawn) Indian coin denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 25 paise, then to make 40 paise, the greedy algorithm would choose three coins (25, 10, 5) whereas the optimal solution is two coins (20, 20).
