Given a set $Z$ of $n$ positive integers and a target value $t$, the Subset Sum problem asks whether any subset of $Z$ sums to $t$. A textbook pseudopolynomial time algorithm by Bellman from 1957 solves Subset Sum in time $O(nt)$. This has…

In this paper, we consider the following inverse maintenance problem: given $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$ and a number of rounds $r$, we receive a $n\times n$ diagonal matrix $D^{(k)}$ at round $k$ and we wish to maintain an efficient…
