Abstract

Basin et al.'s sliding window algorithm (SWA) is an algorithm for combining the elements of subsequences of a sequence with an associative operator. It is greedy and minimizes the number of operator applications. We formalize the algorithm and verify its functional correctness. We extend the algorithm with additional operations and provide an alternative interface to the slide operation that does not require the entire input sequence.
