For a sequence σ = (x1, …, xn) of real numbers, let σi and respectively denote the cyclic permutation (xi, xi+1, …, xi-1) and the reverse cyclic permutation (xj, xj-1, …, xj+1), and let . Also denote by Mrj(σ) and mrj(σ) the rth largest and the rth smallest numbers respectively, among the first j partial sums s1, s2, …, Sj for 1≤r≤j≤n. As usual, let the superscripts + and — respectively mean maximize and minimize with zero.
