Abstract

In the first two sections we explain the fundamentals of subset convolution and the fast algorithm to compute it. To obtain a fast subset convolution algorithm one relies on repeated use of dynamic programming, and in particular on the so-called fast zeta transform. In the latter sections we present various algorithmic applications of fast subset convolution. In this chapter the algorithms (may) operate with large numbers and thus we use the log-cost RAM model to analyze their running times.
