State of problem
Hi.
In part of my thesis, I have a section named State of problem.
Shouldn't it be State of the problem? Because the problem is clear, so we know what we are referring too.
But I have seen this phrase used without the in theses and reports.
I would be thankful if you could help me in this regard.
Thanks

Don't you mean ' statement of the problem'? In any case, omitting 'the' would occur only in a section title, perhaps; even there I think it is better retained.
