Abstract

We present an efficient parameterized algorithm solving the Set Packing problem, in which we assume that the size of the sets is bounded by m. In particular, if the size m of the sets is bounded by a constant, then our algorithm is fixed-parameter tractable. For example, if the size of the sets is bounded by 3, then our algorithm runs in time O((5.7k)kn).
