Abstract

The Subset Sum Ratio problem asks for the following: Given a set A of n positive integers, find two non-empty disjoint subsets of A such that the ratio of their sums is as close to 1 as possible.


In this talk, we present two fully polynomial-time approximation schemes (FPTAS) for Subset Sum Ratio. They run in time near O(n^3 / eps) and O(n / eps^2), respectively, improving upon the previously known O(n^4 / eps) bound. The algorithms are based on dynamic programming and approximating (max, +)-convolutions in a divide and conquer fashion.
