Hi All,
   This is not a haskell problem. I need some pointers which some of you =
might provide.

In program calculation community, segement problems e.g. maximum sum =
problem have been studied extensively. The problems involve finding a =
segment of the list that maximizes some objective function and satisfies =
some predicate.

But I am wondering if  is there similar study on the family of problems =
where we need to find all the segments of a list that satisfy some =
predicate. I am interested in predicates involving forall and =
existential quantifiers.

Thanks for any suggestion.

Cheers,
Saswat
