We present a randomized algorithm that, on input a symmetric, weakly diagonally dominant n-by-n matrix A with m nonzero entries and an n-vector b, produces a y such that $\norm{y - \pinv{A} b}_{A} \leq \epsilon \norm{\pinv{A} b}_{A}$ in…

Bellman's algorithm for Subset Sum is one of the earliest and simplest examples of dynamic programming, dating back to 1957. For a given set of $n$ integers $X$ and a target $t$, it computes the set of subset sums $\mathcal S(X, t)$ (i.e.,…
