::If it is the same idea then I would suggest trying to get the existing task changed rather than make a whole new one, since there are already a lot of examples there. If the other task needs more information then bring it up on [[Talk:Greatest subsequential sum|its talk page]]. We can rename that task and add WP links easily, but we need to agree on the name and the task content. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 15:16, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 
::: They are quite not the same thing, though reading the WP article sheds no light on it: it's so badly written that if you are not familiar with linear programming, you can hardly know what it's talking about. SOS are special solution vectors, in this case likely a vector of "yes" or "no" components regarding if relevant variables are chosen or not; greatest subseq sum can be done as an application of it if you go this route.
