Dense Subset Sum may be the hardest
Per Austrin, Mikko Koivisto, Petteri Kaski, Jesper Nederlof · 2015-08-25 · via cs.DS updates on arXiv.org

The Subset Sum problem asks whether a given set of $n$ positive integers contains a subset of elements that sum up to a given target $t$. It is an outstanding open question whether the $O^*(2^{n/2})$-time algorithm for Subset Sum by Horowitz and Sahni [J. ACM 1974] can be beaten in the worst-case setting by a "truly faster", $O^*(2^{(0.5-δ)n})$-time algorithm, with some constant $δ> 0$. Continuing an earlier work [STACS 2015], we study Subset Sum parameterized by the maximum bin size $β$, defined as the largest number of subsets of the $n$ input integers that yield the same sum. For every $ε> 0$ we give a truly faster algorithm for instances with $β\leq 2^{(0.5-ε)n}$, as well as instances with $β\geq 2^{0.661n}$. Consequently, we also obtain a characterization in terms of the popular density parameter $n/\log_2 t$: if all instances of density at least $1.003$ admit a truly faster algorithm, then so does every instance. This goes against the current intuition that instances of density 1 are the hardest, and therefore is a step toward answering the open question in the affirmative. Our results stem from novel combinations of earlier algorithms for Subset Sum and a study of an extremal question in additive combinatorics connected to the problem of Uniquely Decodable Code Pairs in information theory.
