Given $(a_1, \dots, a_n, t) \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^{n + 1}$, the Subset Sum problem ($\mathsf{SSUM}$) is to decide whether there exists $S \subseteq [n]$ such that $\sum_{i \in S} a_i = t$. There is a close variant of the $\mathsf{SSUM}$,…

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'…
