Subset sum of elements sum to $\sigma$

We assume the input of the subset sum problem is a sequence of $n$ positive integers that sums to $\sigma$. We are interested if there is a subsequence sums to $t$.

In this case, the subset sum problem can be solved in $O(\sigma {\log }^2\sigma )$ time. In fact, it output all possible subset sums in the same running time.

Consider we partition the input into two subsequences, each have sum in between $\sigma /4$ and $3\sigma /4$, and solve each recursively then take the Minkowski sum. One can analyze this and get $O(\sigma {\log }^2\sigma )$ running time. Notice if at some point, such partition cannot be found, then there is a side with a single huge element, and hence can be solved in constant time.
