Non-continuous subsequences
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Consider some sequence of elements. (It differs from a mere set of elements by having an ordering among members.)
A subsequence contains some subset of the elements of this sequence, in the same order.
A continuous subsequence is one in which no elements are missing between the first and last elements of the subsequence.
Note: Subsequences are defined structurally, not by their contents. So a sequence a,b,c,d will always have the same subsequences and continuous subsequences, no matter which values are substituted; it may even be the same value.
Task: Find all non-continuous subsequences for a given sequence. Example: For the sequence 1,2,3,4, there are five non-continuous subsequences, namely 1,3; 1,4; 2,4; 1,3,4 and 1,2,4.
Goal: There are different ways to calculate those subsequences. Demonstrate algorithm(s) that are natural for the language.

[edit] Clojure
Here's a simple approach that uses the clojure.contrib.combinatorics library to generate subsequences, and then filters out the continuous subsequences using a naïve subseq test:
(use '[clojure.contrib.combinatorics :only (subsets)])
(defn of-min-length [min-length]
(fn [s] (>= (count s) min-length)))
(defn runs [c l]
(map (partial take l) (take-while not-empty (iterate rest c))))
(defn is-subseq? [c sub]
(some identity (map = (runs c (count sub)) (repeat sub))))
(defn non-continuous-subsequences [s]
(filter (complement (partial is-subseq? s)) (subsets s)))
(filter (of-min-length 2) (non-continuous-subsequences [:a :b :c :d]))

Generate the power set (power sequence, actually) with a recursive function, but keep track of the state of the subsequence on the way down. When you get to the bottom, if state == non-continuous, then include the subsequence. It's just filtering merged in with generation.
package main
import "fmt"
const ( // state:
m = iota // missing: all elements missing so far
c // continuous: all elements included so far are continuous
cm // one or more continuous followed by one or more missing
cmc // non-continuous subsequence

A disjointed subsequence is a consecutive subsequence followed by a gap, then by any nonempty subsequence to its right:
import Data.List (subsequences, tails, delete)
disjoint a = concatMap (cutAt a) [1..length a - 2] where
cutAt s n = [a ++ b | b <- delete [] (subsequences right),
a <- init (tails left) ] where
(left, _:right) = splitAt n s
main = print $ length $ disjoint [1..20]
Build a lexicographic list of consecutive subsequences, and a list of all subsequences, then subtract one from the other:
import Data.List (inits, tails)
subseqs = foldr (\x s -> [x] : map (x:) s ++ s) []
consecs = concatMap (tail.inits) . tails
minus [] [] = []
minus (a:as) bb@(b:bs)
| a == b = minus as bs
| otherwise = a:minus as bb
disjoint s = (subseqs s) `minus` (consecs s)
main = mapM_ print $ disjoint [1..4]
[edit] J
We select those combinations where the end of the first continuous subsequence appears before the start of the last continuous subsequence:
allmasks=: 2 #:@i.@^ #
firstend=:1 0 i.&1@E."1 ]
laststart=: 0 1 {:@I.@E."1 ]
noncont=: <@#~ (#~ firstend < laststart)@allmasks
Example use:
noncont 1+i.4
┌───┬───┬───┬─────┬─────┐
│2 4│1 4│1 3│1 3 4│1 2 4│
└───┴───┴───┴─────┴─────┘

Alternatively, since there are relatively few continuous sequences, we could specifically exclude them:

[edit] Oz
A nice application of finite set constraints. We just describe what we want and the constraint system will deliver it:
declare
fun {NCSubseq SeqList}
Seq = {FS.value.make SeqList}
proc {Script Result}
%% the result is a subset of Seq
{FS.subset Result Seq}
%% at least one element of Seq is missing
local Gap in
{FS.include Gap Seq}
{FS.exclude Gap Result}
%% and this element is between the smallest
%% and the largest elements of the subsequence
Gap >: {FS.int.min Result}
Gap <: {FS.int.max Result}
end
%% enumerate all such sets
{FS.distribute naive [Result]}
end
in
{Map {SearchAll Script} FS.reflect.lowerBoundList}
end
in

[edit] Prolog
Works with SWI-Prolog.
We explain to Prolog how to build a non continuous subsequence of a list L, then we ask Prolog to fetch all the subsequences.
% fetch all the subsequences
ncsubs(L, LNCSL) :-
setof(NCSL, one_ncsubs(L, NCSL), LNCSL).
% how to build one subsequence
one_ncsubs(L, NCSL) :-
extract_elem(L, NCSL);
( sublist(L, L1),
one_ncsubs(L1, NCSL)).
% extract one element of the list
% this element is neither the first nor the last.
extract_elem(L, NCSL) :-
length(L, Len),
Len1 is Len - 2,
between(1, Len1, I),
nth0(I, L, Elem),
select(Elem, L, NCS1),
( NCSL = NCS1; extract_elem(NCS1, NCSL)).
% extract the first or the last element of the list
sublist(L, SL) :-
(L = [_|SL];
reverse(L, [_|SL1]),
reverse(SL1, SL)).
Example :
?- ncsubs([a,e,i,o,u], L).
L = [[a,e,i,u],[a,e,o],[a,e,o,u],[a,e,u],[a,i],[a,i,o],[a,i,o,u],[a,i,u],[a,o],[a,o,u],[a,u],[e,i,u],[e,o],[e,o,u],[e,u],[i,u]]

The idea behind this is to loop over the possible lengths of subsequence, finding all subsequences then discarding those which are continuous.
ncsub <- function(x)
{
n <- length(x)
a <- seq_len(n)
seqlist <- list()
for(i in 2:(n-1))
{
seqs <- combn(a, i) # Get all subseqs
ok <- apply(seqs, 2, function(x) any(diff(x)!=1)) # Find noncts ones
newseqs <- unlist(apply(seqs[,ok], 2, function(x) list(x)), recursive=FALSE) # Convert matrix to list of its columns
seqlist <- c(seqlist, newseqs) # Append to existing list
}
lapply(seqlist, function(index) x[index])
}

[edit] Ursala
To do it the lazy programmer way, apply the powerset library function to the list, which will generate all continuous and non-continuous subsequences of it, and then delete the subsequences that are also substrings (hence continuous) using a judicious combination of the built in substring predicate (K3), negation (Z), and distributing filter (K17) operator suffixes. This function will work on lists of any type. To meet the requirement for structural equivalence, the list items are first uniquely numbered (num), and the numbers are removed afterwards (rSS).
