On the subset sum problem over finite fields
Abstract. The subset sum problem over finite fields is a well known NPcomplete problem. It arises naturally from decoding generalized Reed-Solomon codes. In this paper, we study the number of solutions of the subset sum problem from a mathematicial point of view. In several interesting cases, we obtain explicit or asymptotic formulas for the solution number. As a consequence, we get some information on the decoding problem of Reed-Solomon codes.
