The concept of parallel sum in mathematics involves adding numbers in a specific way to find the sum. It is applied in various mathematical operations, such as addition and multiplication, where numbers are added or multiplied simultaneously in parallel columns to obtain the final result. This method helps in simplifying calculations and solving problems efficiently.

In the subset sum problem, the concept of a vertex cover can be applied by representing each element in the set as a vertex in a graph. The goal is to find a subset of vertices (vertex cover) that covers all edges in the graph, which corresponds to finding a subset of elements that sums up to a target value in the subset sum problem.
Two resistors connected in parallel are 1/2 the sum of their resistance. The resistance of two resistors connected in series is the sum of their resistance. For example: The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in parallel is 100+200 divided by 2 = 150 ohms. The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in series 100+200= 300 ohms.
The subset sum problem can be reduced to the knapsack problem by transforming the elements of the subset sum problem into items with weights equal to their values, and setting the knapsack capacity equal to the target sum. This allows the knapsack algorithm to find a subset of items that add up to the target sum, solving the subset sum problem.
Performing a one's complement sum on a set of numbers results in the sum of the numbers with any carry-over from the most significant bit added back to the sum.
The minimum unique array sum that can be achieved is when all elements in the array are different, resulting in the sum of the array being equal to the sum of the first n natural numbers, which is n(n1)/2.
