Subset Sum Made Simple
Konstantinos Koiliaris, Chao Xu · 2018-07-22 · via cs.DS updates on arXiv.org

Subset Sum is a classical optimization problem taught to undergraduates as an example of an NP-hard problem, which is amenable to dynamic programming, yielding polynomial running time if the input numbers are relatively small. Formally, given a set $S$ of $n$ positive integers and a target integer $t$, the Subset Sum problem is to decide if there is a subset of $S$ that sums up to $t$. Dynamic programming yields an algorithm with running time $O(nt)$. Recently, the authors [SODA '17] improved the running time to $\tilde{O}\bigl(\sqrt{n}t\bigr)$, and it was further improved to $\tilde{O}\bigl(n+t\bigr)$ by a somewhat involved randomized algorithm by Bringmann [SODA '17], where $\tilde{O}$ hides polylogarithmic factors. Here, we present a new and significantly simpler algorithm with running time $\tilde{O}\bigl(\sqrt{n}t\bigr)$. While not the fastest, we believe the new algorithm and analysis are simple enough to be presented in an algorithms class, as a striking example of a divide-and-conquer algorithm that uses FFT to a problem that seems (at first) unrelated. In particular, the algorithm and its analysis can be described in full detail in two pages (see pages 3-5).
