3. Yaw-Ling Lin, Providence, Taiwan3 Introduction Two fundamental algorithms in searching for interesting regions in sequences: Given a sequence of real numbers of length n and an upper bound U, find a consecutive subsequence of length at most U with the maximum sum --- an O(n)-time algorithm. Given a sequence of real numbers of length n and a lower bound L, find a consecutive subsequence of length at least L with the maximum average. --- an O(n log L)-time algorithm.
