Given positive integers $a_1,..., a_n, t$, the fixed weight subset sum problem is to find a subset of the $a_i$ that sum to $t$, where the subset has a prescribed number of elements. It is this problem that underlies the security of modern…

The subset sum algorithm is a natural heuristic for the classical Bin Packing problem: In each iteration, the algorithm finds among the unpacked items, a maximum size set of items that fits into a new bin. More than 35 years after its first…

We investigate the question whether Subset Sum can be solved by a polynomial-time algorithm with access to a certificate of length poly(k) where k is the maximal number of bits in an input number. In other words, can it be solved using only…

We study the parameterized complexity of algorithmic problems whose input is an integer set $A$ in terms of the doubling constant $C := |A + A|/|A|$, a fundamental measure of additive structure. We present evidence that this new…

The modular subset sum problem consists of deciding, given a modulus $m$, a multiset $S$ of $n$ integers in $0..m-1$, and a target integer $t$, whether there exists a subset of $S$ with elements summing to $t \mod m $, and to report such a…

To partition a sequence of n integers into subsets with prescribed sums is an NP-hard problem in general. In this paper we present an efficient solution for the homogeneous version of this problem; i.e. where the elements in each subset add…

We investigate pseudo-polynomial time algorithms for Subset Sum. Given a multi-set $X$ of $n$ positive integers and a target $t$, Subset Sum asks whether some subset of $X$ sums to $t$. Bringmann proposes an $\tilde{O}(n + t)$-time…
