We reexamine the classical subset sum problem: given a set $X$ of $n$ positive integers and a number $t$, decide whether there exists a subset of $X$ that sums to $t$; or more generally, compute the set $\mbox{out}$ of all numbers…

We revisit the 3SUM problem in the \emph{preprocessed universes} setting. We present an algorithm that, given three sets $A$, $B$, $C$ of $n$ integers, preprocesses them in quadratic time, so that given any subsets $A' \subseteq A$, $B'…
