Recently, we showed how to apply program-synthesis techniques to create abstract transformers in a user-provided domain-specific language (DSL) L (i.e., ''L-transformers"). However, we found that the algorithm of Kalita et al. does not…

A very simple example of an algorithmic problem solvable by dynamic programming is to maximize, over sets A in {1,2,...,n}, the objective function |A| - \sum_i \xi_i 1(i \in A,i+1 \in A) for given \xi_i > 0. This problem, with random…
