Do you capitalize names of problems?
According to chatgpt
Short answer: yes, but only partially—and it depends on context.
Standard convention in theory/algorithms papers
Most papers use:
Capitalize the problem name
Keep “problem” lowercase
Examples:
the Feedback Vertex Set problem
the Maximum Flow problem
the Vertex Cover problem
When to capitalize everything
You may see:
Feedback Vertex Set Problem
This is used when:
Formally defining the problem, or
Treating it like a named object
But I don't see for instance vector scheduling problem capitalized.
