K partition with equal sum
The "K Partition with Equal Sum" problem involves partitioning a given collection of positive integers into K subsets, such that the sum of elements in each subset is equal. The goal is to find such a partition if it exists and print the subsets with equal sums. This problem can be solved using a backtracking approach that explores all possible combinations of subsets.
Problem Statement
Given an array of positive integers and an integer K, the task is to find if it's possible to partition the array into K subsets, each with an equal sum.
Example
Let's take an example to illustrate the problem. Consider the array:
[6, 2, 7, 1, 8, 4, 5, 3, 9, 15]- For K = 2, the subsets with equal sum are: [6, 2, 7, 1, 5, 9] and [8, 4, 3, 15].
- For K = 4, the subsets with equal sum are: [6, 2, 7], [1, 5, 9], [8, 4, 3], and [15].
- For K = 3, it's not possible to partition the array into subsets with equal sums.
Idea to Solve
The problem can be solved using a backtracking approach. We'll explore all possible combinations of subsets by placing elements in each subset and recursively checking if the sum constraint is satisfied. We'll backtrack when the sum exceeds the target sum or all elements have been assigned.

-
findSolution(collection, result, visit, n, k, sum, i, j): This function recursively explores all possible combinations of subsets and checks if they form equal sums. It takes several parameters:collection: The array of positive integers.result: An array to store the sum of elements in each subset.visit: An array to track visited elements.n: The number of elements in the collection.k: The number of subsets to be formed.sum: The target sum for each subset.i: The index of the current element being considered.j: The index of the current subset being formed.
-
The base case is when
ibecomes greater than or equal tonorjbecomes greater than or equal tok. This indicates that we've either exhausted the collection or formed all subsets. -
If the sum of the current subset matches the target
sum, we check if we've formed all subsets. If so, we return 1, indicating success. If not, we move on to the next subset by recursively calling the function withj + 1. -
We iterate through the collection from index
iton - 1. If the element at indexxhas not been visited and adding it to the current subset's sum won't exceed the target sum, we update thevisitandresultarrays and recursively call the function with the next element. -
If a solution is found in the recursive tree, we return 1. If not, we backtrack by resetting the values of the
resultandvisitarrays. -
partition(collection, n, k): This function calculates the total sum of the collection and checks if the sum can be divided evenly amongksubsets. If so, it initializes arrays and calls thefindSolutionfunction.

Time Complexity
The time complexity of the algorithm mainly depends on the recursive search space. The worst-case scenario is when
all possible combinations are explored. This results in an exponential time complexity of O(n^k), where
n is the size of the collection and k is the number of subsets.
