A Note on the Density of the Multiple Subset Sum Problems

Yanbin Pan and Feng Zhang

Abstract

It is well known that the general subset sum problem is NP-complete. However, almost all subset sum problems with density less than $0.9408\ldots$ can be solved in polynomial time with an oracle that can find the shortest vector in a special lattice. In this paper, we give a similar result for the multiple subset sum problems which has $k$ subset sum problems with the same solution. Some extended versions of the multiple subset sum problems are also considered. In addition, a modified lattice is involved to make the analysis much simpler than before.
