It is one of England , Wales and Northern Ireland s five main examination boards. OCR is based in Cambridge , with offices in Birmingham and Coventry . It is part of the University of Cambridge s Cambridge Assessment , which operates in over 150 countries and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2008. History The name OCR reflects the fact that, in December 1996, it was created through the amalgamation of the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate UCLES and the Royal Society of Arts Examinations Board RSAEB . At the time of the merger, UCLES s qualifications were offered by two wholly owned subsidiaries the Oxford and Cambridge Examinations and Assessments Council OCEAC for A Level and the Midland Examining Group MEG for GCSE and Certificate of Achievement. RSAEB offered vocational qualifications. After the merger, the OCR name replaced all previous names. UCLES had previously taken over the University of Oxford Delegacy of Local Examinations founded 1857 and the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examinations Board founded 1873 . The Oxford Delegacy of Local Examinations UODLE and the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examinations Board OCSEB were acquired by UCLES in 1995. The acquisition of RSAEB was completed in 1998 and brought a new range of qualifications and activities to the UCLES Group because RSEAB s principal activity was in vocational qualifications.

Notability date May 2009 A problem statement is a concise description of the issues that need to be addressed by a problem solving team and should be presented to them or created by them before they try to solve the problem. When bringing together a team to achieve a particular purpose provide them with a problem statement . A good problem statement should answer these questions What is the problem? This should explain why the team is needed. Who has the problem or who is the client customer? This should explain who needs the solution and who will decide the problem has been solved. What form can the resolution be? What is the scope and limitations in time, money, resources, technologies that can be used to solve the problem? Does the client want a white paper ? A web tool? A new feature for a product? A brainstorming on a topic? The primary purpose of a problem statement is to focus the attention of the problem solving team. However, if the focus of the problem is too narrow or the scope of the solution too limited the creativity and innovation of the solution can be stifling.

In scientific disciplines, a toy problem is a problem that is not of immediate scientific interest, yet is used as an expository device to illustrate a trait that may be shared by other, more complicated, instances of the problem, or as a way to explain a particular, more general, problem solving technique. For instance, while engineering a large system, the large problem is often broken down into many smaller toy problems which have been understood in good detail. Often these problems distill a few important aspects of complicated problems so that they can be studied in isolation. Toy problems are thus often very useful in providing intuition about specific phenomena in more complicated problems.

unsourced date October 2010 The 1 center problem or minimax or minmax location problem is a classical combinatorial optimization problem in operations research of facilities location type. In its most general case the problem is stated as follows given a set of n demand points, a space of feasible locations of a facility and a function to calculate the transportation cost between a facility and any demand point, find a location of the facility which minimizes the maximum facility demand point transportation cost. The simple special case when the feasible locations and demand points are in the plane with Euclidean distance as transportation cost planar minmax Euclidean facility location problem, Euclidean 1 center problem in the plane, etc. , it is also known as the smallest circle problem . Its generalization to n dimensional Euclidean spaces is known as the smallest enclosing ball problem. A further generalization weighted Euclidean facility location is when the set of weights is assigned to demand points and the transportation cost is the sum of the products of distances by the corresponding weights. There are numerous particular cases of the problem, depending on the choice of the locations both of demand points and facilities, as well as the distance function.

In computational complexity theory , a function problem is a computational problem where a single output of a total function is expected for every input, but the output is more complex than that of a decision problem , that is, it isn t just YES or NO. Notable examples include the travelling salesman problem , which asks for the route taken by the salesman, and the integer factorization problem , which asks for the list of factors. Function problems are more awkward to study than decision problems because they don t have an obvious analogue in terms of languages, and because the notion of reduction between problems is more subtle as you have to transform the output as well as the input. Function problems can be sorted into complexity class es in the same way as decision problems. For example FP complexity FP is the set of function problems which can be solved by a deterministic Turing machine in polynomial time , and FNP complexity FNP is the set of function problems which can be solved ... is polynomially bounded, there is an analogous decision problem such that the function problem can be solved by polynomial time Turing reduction to that decision problem. For example, the decision problem analogue to the travelling salesman problem is this Given a weighted directed graph and an integer ... weight less than or equal to K? Given a solution to this problem, we can solve the travelling salesman problem as follows. Let math n math be the number of edges and math w i math be the weight of edge ... i math must be in the shortest path for the original graph .

Unreferenced date June 2009 Confusing date December 2011 In computational complexity theory and computability theory , a search problem is a type of computational problem represented by a binary relation . If R is a binary relation such that field R sup sup and T is a Turing machine , then T calculates R if If x is such that there is some y such that R x , y then T accepts x with output z such that R x , z there may be multiple y , and T need only find one of them If x is such that there is no y such that R x , y then T rejects x Intuitively, the problem consists in finding a structure y in an object x. An algorithm is said to solve the problem if it behaves in the following way if at least one corresponding structure exists, then one occurrence of this structure is outputted otherwise, the algorithm stops with an appropriate output Item not found or any message of the like . For instance, such problems occurs very frequently in graph theory , where searching graphs for structures such as particular Matching graph theory matching , clique graph theory cliques , Independent set graph theory independent set , etc. are subjects of interest. Note that the graph of a partial function is a binary relation, and if T calculates a partial function then there is at most one possible output. A relation R can be viewed as a search problem, and a Turing machine which calculates R is also said to solve it. Every search problem has a corresponding decision problem , namely math L R x mid exists y R x,y . , math This definition may be generalized to n ary relations using any suitable encoding which allows multiple strings to be compressed into one string for instance by listing them consecutively with a delimiter .
