Multipart question part 1/3. anser part a)
The subset-sum problem. Let S = {s1....sn} be a set of n
positive integers and let t be a positive integer called the target. The
subset-sum problem is to decide if S contains a subset of elements
that sum to t. For example, if S = {2,4,10,20,25}, t = 38, then
the answer is YES because 25 + 10 + 2 + 1 = 38. However, if S =
{1,2, 4, 10, 20, 25}, t = 18, then the answer is NO. Let s = s1+...sn.
(a) Let T[0..n, 0..s] be a table such that T[i, s\'] = S\' if there exists a
subset of elements S\' in {s1...si} whose total value is s\', and
T[i, s\'] = * otherwise, * is a
flag indicating that no such S\' exists.
Show how T[0, k] can be easily computed for k = 0,....,s.
(b) If T[i, s\'] exists (T[i, s\'] != * ) and element si does not belong
to T[i, s\'], how can the value of T[i, s\'] be expressed using table
entries in previous rows? What about when T[i, s\'] exists and
element si belongs to T[i, s\']? Show how entry T[i, s\'] can be
computed from table entries in previous rows.
(c) Design an O(n.s) time algorithm that decides if S contains a
subset of elements A that sum to t.
Solution
class subset_sum
{
// Returns true if there is a subset of set[] with sun equal to given sum
static boolean isSubsetSum(int set[], int n, int sum)
{
// The value of subset[i][j] will be true if there
// is a subset of set[0..j-1] with sum equal to i
boolean subset[][] = new boolean[sum+1][n+1];
// If sum is 0, then answer is true
for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++)
subset[0][i] = true;
// If sum is not 0 and set is empty, then answer is false
for (int i = 1; i <= sum; i++)
subset[i][0] = false;
// Fill the subset table in botton up manner
for (int i = 1; i <= sum; i++)
{
for (int j = 1; j <= n; j++)
{
subset[i][j] = subset[i][j-1];
if (i >= set[j-1])
subset[i][j] = subset[i][j] ||
subset[i - set[j-1]][j-1];
}
}
