Subset-Sum is an NP-complete problem where one must decide if a multiset of $n$ integers contains a subset whose elements sum to a target value $m$. The best-known classical and quantum algorithms run in time $\tilde{O}(2^{n/2})$ and…

Given a set (or multiset) S of n numbers and a target number t, the subset sum problem is to decide if there is a subset of S that sums up to t. There are several methods for solving this problem, including exhaustive search,…

We are given a set of $n$ jobs and a single processor that can vary its speed dynamically. Each job $J_j$ is characterized by its processing requirement (work) $p_j$, its release date $r_j$ and its deadline $d_j$. We are also given a budget…

In this work we study the {\it moment estimation} problem using weighted sampling. Given sample access to a set $A$ with $n$ weighted elements, and a parameter $t>0$, we estimate the $t$-th moment of $A$ given as $S_t=\sum_{a\in A} w(a)^t$.…

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.,…

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…
