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…
We show that there is a dense set $\ourset\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ of group orders and a constant $c$ such that for every $n\in \ourset$ we can decide in time $O(n^2(\log n)^c)$ whether two $n\times n$ multiplication tables describe isomorphic…
