Abstract

Packing problems have formed an important class of NP-hard problems. In this paper, we provide further theoretical study on the structure of the problems, and design improved algorithm for packing problems. For the 3-Set Packing problem, we present a deterministic algorithm of time O*(3.523k), which significantly improves the previous best algorithm of time O*(4.613k).
