POSeqSel

Description : This package includes the C++ code of the POSeqSel algorithm [1] for the sequence selection problem (i.e., maximizing functions defined on sequences) with a length constraint. This is an extension of our previous POSS algorithm [2] for the subset selection problem (i.e., maximizing functions defined on subsets) with a size constraint. POSeqSel uses a randomized iterative procedure to solve the bi-objective reformulation of the original problem: maximizing the objective function and minimizing the sequence length. A Readme file and two example files are included in the package.
