Abstract

An efficient algorithm for selecting s different m-element subsets of {1, ..., k} is presented. The lower bound for this problem is Ω(sm). The two previously known solutions are of time complexity O(sm2 log k) and O(s(k + m)). Our method is ranking the lexicographic order of m-tuples and then generating an s-element random sample. The time complexity is O(sm2).
