This article reviews a class of adaptive group testing procedures that operate under a probabilistic model assumption as follows. Consider a set of $N$ items, where item $i$ has the probability $p$ ($p_i$ in the generalized group testing)…
In group testing, the goal is to identify a subset of defective items within a larger set of items based on tests whose outcomes indicate whether at least one defective item is present. This problem is relevant in areas such as medical…
Choosing an optimal strategy for hierarchical group testing is an important problem for practitioners who are interested in disease screening with limited resources. For example, when screening for infectious diseases in large populations,…
Inspired by recent results from collusion-resistant traitor tracing, we provide a framework for constructing efficient probabilistic group testing schemes. In the traditional group testing model, our scheme asymptotically requires T ~ 2 K…
In the classical combinatorial (adaptive) group testing problem, one is given two integers \(d\) and \(n\), where \(0\le d\le n\), and a population of \(n\) items, exactly \(d\) of which are known to be defective. The question is to devise…
Motivated by the need for efficient isomorphism tests for finite groups, we present a polynomial-time method for deciding isomorphism within a class of groups that is well-suited to studying local properties of general finite groups. We…
The motivation for this paper comes from the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic. Its goal is to present a previously neglected approach to non-adaptive group testing and describes it in terms of residuated pairs on partially ordered sets. Our…
We study the problem of determining exactly the number of defective items in an adaptive Group testing by using a minimum number of tests. We improve the existing algorithm and prove a lower bound that shows that the number of tests in our…
Inspired by applications in testing for Covid-19, we consider a variant of two-stage group testing called "conservative" (or "trivial") two-stage testing, where every item declared to be defective must be definitively confirmed by being…
In confirmatory clinical trials, it has been proposed to use a simple iterative graphical approach to construct and perform intersection hypotheses tests with a weighted Bonferroni-type procedure to control type I errors in the strong…
The conventional model of disjunctive group testing assumes that there are several defective elements (or defectives) among a large population, and a group test yields the positive response if and only if the testing group contains at least…
DNA codes have garnered significant interest due to their utilization in digital media storage, cryptography, and DNA computing. In this paper, we first extend the results of constructing reversible group codes \cite{Cengellenmis} and…
When fitting statistical models, some predictors are often found to be correlated with each other, and functioning together. Many group variable selection methods are developed to select the groups of predictors that are closely related to…
An instance of a group testing problem is a set of objects $\cO$ and an unknown subset $P$ of $\cO$. The task is to determine $P$ by using queries of the type ``does $P$ intersect $Q$'', where $Q$ is a subset of $\cO$. This problem occurs…
In group testing, the task is to identify defective items by testing groups of them together using as few tests as possible. We consider the setting where each item is defective with a constant probability $\alpha$, independent of all other…
We introduce a new combinatorial structure: the superselector. We show that superselectors subsume several important combinatorial structures used in the past few years to solve problems in group testing, compressed sensing, multi-channel…
With recent high-throughput technology we can synthesize large heterogeneous collections of DNA structures, and also read them all out precisely in a single procedure. Can we use these tools, not only to do things faster, but also to devise…
This work focuses on non-adaptive combinatorial group testing, with a primary goal of efficiently identifying a set of at most $d$ defective elements among a given set of $n$ elements using the fewest possible tests. Non-adaptive…
In the context of fault-detection problems, the objective is to identify all defective items among a set of $n$ binary-state items using the minimum number of tests. The {group testing} paradigm, which allows testing a subset of items in a…
In combinatorial group testing problems Questioner needs to find a special element $x \in [n]$ by testing subsets of $[n]$. Tapolcai et al. introduced a new model, where each element knows the answer for those queries that contain it and…
