In mathematics, a subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from another sequence by deleting some elements without changing the order of the remaining elements. For example, the sequence ⟨A, B, D⟩ is a subsequence of ⟨A, B, C, D, E, F⟩ obtained after removal of elements C, E, and F. The relation of one sequence being the subsequence of another is a preorder.
The subsequence should not be confused with substring ⟨A, B, C, D⟩ which can be derived from the above string ⟨A, B, C, D, E, F⟩ by deleting substring ⟨E, F⟩. The substring is a refinement of the subsequence.
