Set packing

The amount of packing problem (often with set -packing problem listed ) is a decision problem in combinatorics.

It asks if there are a finite set and subsets of a number of at least pairwise disjoint subsets.

Formulated as an optimization problem, a pack is sought with as many subsets or, if the subsets are assigned ratings, a pack with maximum rating.

The amount of packing problem belongs to the list of 21 classic NP -complete problems of which Richard M. Karp 1972, the membership was able to show to the class.
