SubSeqComb

Description: Java classes for subsequence combinatorics. The Java class SubsequenceCombinatorics implements the algorithms described in our research project on subsequence combinatorics. The Java class SubsequenceCombinatoricsTest is a JUnit based test and at the same time demonstrates the use of the routines in SubsequenceCombinatorics.java. Documentation in html form is also included in the archive. In order to make the classes work on your system, you may have to change its package declaration. (Homepage).
