The possibility is ruled out by your question itself.There are exponential subsets of a set,so finding all subset is not possible in polynomail time.
A backtracking approach is what you should think on, On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 12:51 PM, Piyush Grover <piyush4u.iit...@gmail.com>wrote: > Given a set S of objects having weights Wi and values Vi, and given a > maximum weight Wmax. > Find *ALL* the maximal subsets of set S such that Sum(Wi) <= Wmax. > > Maximal subset means if {a, b, c} is a solution (such that Wa+Wb+Wc <= > Wmax) it means there doesn't exist any other object x in S such that > Wa+Wb+Wc+Wx <= Wmax and all the subsets of {a, b, c} e.g. {a, b}, {b, c}, > {a, c}....{c} are not the part of the solution set. > > P.S.
