We consider the probabilistic group testing problem where $d$ random defective items in a large population of $N$ items are identified with high probability by applying binary tests. It is known that $\Theta(d \log N)$ tests are necessary…
We consider the group testing problem, in the case where the items are defective independently but with non-constant probability. We introduce and analyse an algorithm to solve this problem by grouping items together appropriately. We give…
Given $d$ defective items in a population of $n$ items with $d \ll n$, in threshold group testing without gap, the outcome of a test on a subset of items is positive if the subset has at least $u$ defective items and negative otherwise,…
Scalable quantum computing and communication requires the protection of quantum information from the detrimental effects of decoherence and noise. Previous work tackling this problem has relied on the original circuit model for quantum…
In this paper we study a new, generalized version of the well-known group testing problem. In the classical model of group testing we are given n objects, some of which are considered to be defective. We can test certain subsets of the…
In this work we prove non-trivial impossibility results for perhaps the simplest non-linear estimation problem, that of {\it Group Testing} (GT), via the recently developed Madiman-Tetali inequalities. Group Testing concerns itself with…
Construction of error-correcting codes achieving a designated minimum distance parameter is a central problem in coding theory. In this work, we study a very simple construction of binary linear codes that correct a given number of errors…
We introduce a novel probabilistic group testing framework, termed Poisson group testing, in which the number of defectives follows a right-truncated Poisson distribution. The Poisson model has a number of new applications, including…
We study Probabilistic Group Testing of a set of N items each of which is defective with probability p. We focus on the double limit of small defect probability, p<<1, and large number of variables, N>>1, taking either p->0 after…
We study the support recovery problem for compressed sensing, where the goal is to reconstruct the a high-dimensional $K$-sparse signal $\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^N$, from low-dimensional linear measurements with and without noise. Our key…
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…
We consider the problem of detecting a small subset of defective items from a large set via non-adaptive "random pooling" group tests. We consider both the case when the measurements are noiseless, and the case when the measurements are…
We consider a zero-error probabilistic group testing problem where individuals are defective independently but not with identical probabilities. We propose a greedy set formation method to build sets of individuals to be tested together. We…
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 consider the quantitative group testing problem where the objective is to identify defective items in a given population based on results of tests performed on subsets of the population. Under the quantitative group testing model, the…
Efficient and accurate decoding of quantum error-correcting codes is essential for fault-tolerant quantum computation, however, it is challenging due to the degeneracy of errors, the complex code topology, and the large space for logical…
Group testing concerns itself with the accurate recovery of a set of "defective" items from a larger population via a series of tests. While most works in this area have considered the classical group testing model, where tests are binary…
In this paper, we investigate a variant of Ramsey numbers called defective Ramsey numbers where cliques and independent sets are generalized to $k$-dense and $k$-sparse sets, both commonly called $k$-defective sets. We focus on the…
We study the problem of group testing with a non-adaptive randomized algorithm in the random incidence design (RID) model where each entry in the test is chosen randomly independently from $\{0,1\}$ with a fixed probability $p$. The…
Motivated by applications in topological DNA-based data storage, we introduce and study a novel setting of Non-Adaptive Group Testing (NAGT) with runlength constraints on the columns of the test matrix, in the sense that any two 1's must be…
