摘要
We present an efficient parameterized algorithm for the (k, t)-set packing problem, in which we are looking for a collection of k disjoint sets whose union consists of t elements. The complexity of the algorithm is O(2(O(t))nN log N). For the special case of sets of bounded size, this improves the O((ck)(k)n) algorithm of Jia et al. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
