Optimisation Problems
A “Side-Swapping” Lemma Regarding Minimum, Using Enriched Indirect Equality
If every solution returned by D is no better than some solution returned by X, any optimal solution by X must be no worse than some optimal solution by D “What? How could this be true?” It turned out that the reasoning can be correct, and the proof uses indirect equality in an unusual way.
The Windowing Technique for Longest Segment Problems
Reviewing Zantema’s “windowing” technique for computing the longest segment of the input that satisfies a suffix-closed predicate.
Longest Segment Satisfying Suffix and Overlap-Closed Predicates
Translating Zantema’s work to Bird-Meertens style, to compute the longest consecutive segment of the input that satisfies a predicate that is suffix and overlap-closed.
On a Basic Property for the Longest Prefix Problem
Giving a constructive proof for one of the essential properties in Hans Zantema’s Longest Segment Problems.

AoPA — Algebra of Programming in Agda
The AoPA library allows one to encode Algebra of Programming style program derivation, both functional and relational, in Agda, accompanying the paper Algebra of Programming Using Dependent Types (MPC 2008) developed in co-operation with Hsiang-Shang Ko and Patrik Jansson.

Maximum Segment Sum, Agda Approved
To practise using the Logic.ChainReasoning module in Agda, Josh proved the foldr-fusion theorem, and I thought it would be an small exercise over the weekend to start off where he finished…
