Subset Sum Problem Input: an integer bound W > 0 a set of n items, each with an integer weight w i > 0 Output: a subset S of items that � � maximizes s.t. w i ≤ W. w i i ∈ S i ∈ S Motivation: you have budget W , and want to buy a subset of items, so as to spend as much money as possible. Example: W = 35 , n = 5 , w = (14 , 9 , 17 , 10 , 13) Optimum: S = { 1 , 2 , 4 } and 14 + 9 + 10 = 33 20/73
