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…

In the group testing problem, the goal is to identify a subset of defective items within a larger set of items based on tests whose outcomes indicate whether any defective item is present. This problem is relevant in areas such as medical…

Group testing is a well known search problem that consists in detecting up to $s$ defective elements of the set $[t]=\{1,\ldots,t\}$ by carrying out tests on properly chosen subsets of $[t]$. In classical group testing the goal is to find…

We have a large number of samples and we want to find the infected ones using as few number of tests as possible. We can use group testing which tells about a small group of people whether at least one of them is infected. Group testing is…

The fundamental task of group testing is to recover a small distinguished subset of items from a large population while efficiently reducing the total number of tests (measurements). The key contribution of this paper is in adopting a new…

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…

Non-adaptive group testing refers to the problem of inferring a sparse set of defectives from a larger population using the minimum number of simultaneous pooled tests. Recent positive results for noiseless group testing have motivated the…
