The problem is NP-Complete and the real problem is how you can solve it.
According to the wiki page, you can use the bottom algorithm(Polynomial time approximate algorithm) to solve your problems.
If you had trouble with writing R code, you can read ``R-introduction''.

Subject: [R] Subset sum problem.

Hi,

I'm quite new to the R-project. I was suggested to look into it because I am
trying to solve the "Subset sum" problem", which basically is:
Given a set of integers and an integer s, does any non-empty subset sum to s?
(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem)

I have been searching the web for quite some time now (which is how I
eventually discovered that my problem is called subset sum), but I can't seem to find an easily applicable implementation. I did search the list archive,
the R website and used the help.search and apropos function. I'm afraid
nothing obvious showed up for me.

Has anybody tackled this issue before in R ? If so, I would be very grateful
if you could share your solution with me.

Thank you very much.

Geert
