We consider a group-theoretic analogue of the classic subset sum problem. In this brief note, we show that the subset sum problem is NP-complete in the first Grigorchuk group. More generally, we show NP-hardness of that problem in weakly regular branch groups, which implies NP-completeness if the group is, in addition, contracting.

All exact algorithms for solving subset sum problem (SUBSET\_SUM) are exponential (brute force, branch and bound search, dynamic programming which is pseudo-polynomial). To find the approximate solutions both a classical greedy algorithm and its improved variety, and different approximation schemes are used.This paper is an attempt to build another greedy algorithm by transferring representation of analytic geometry to such an object of discrete structure as a set. Set of size $n$ is identified with $n$-dimensional space with Euclidean metric, the subset-sum is identified with (hyper)plane.
