Maximum Segment Sum and Density with Bounded Lengths

It may be surprising that variations of the maximum segment sum (MSS) problem, a textbook example for the squiggolists, are still active topics for algorithm designers. These literate Haskell scripts presents a program solving two recently studied variations: computing the maximum sum of segments not longer than an upper-bound, and the maximum density (average) of segments not shorter than a lower-bound. 2007/06/26 Update: fixed binary search.
