Let S = (s1, s2, . . . , sn) be a given sequence of integer numbers. The numbers can be positive or negative. We define a slice of S as a sub- sequence (si,si+1,...,sj) where 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n. The weight of a slice is defined as the sum of its elements. Provide efficient algorithms to answer each of the following questions: a)Is there any slice with zero weight ? b)Find the maximum weight slice in...

The third, fourth, fifth, . . . strings are defined as follows: si = si−11ti−1 where ti−1 is the reverse of si−1 with all 0s replaced by 1s and all 1s replaced by 0s.
