Group testing enables to identify infected individuals in a population using a smaller number of tests than individual testing. To achieve this, group testing algorithms commonly assume knowledge of the number of infected individuals;…
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…
In this paper, we consider the problem of noiseless non-adaptive group testing under the for-each recovery guarantee, also known as probabilistic group testing. In the case of $n$ items and $k$ defectives, we provide an algorithm attaining…
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 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…
The problem of Group Testing is to identify defective items out of a set of objects by means of pool queries of the form "Does the pool contain at least a defective?". The aim is of course to perform detection with the fewest possible…
Group testing is a well-known search problem that consists in detecting of $s$ defective members of a set of $t$ samples by carrying out tests on properly chosen subsets of samples. In classical group testing the goal is to find all…
The group testing problem consists of determining a small set of defective items from a larger set of items based on a number of possibly-noisy tests, and is relevant in applications such as medical testing, communication protocols, pattern…
In combinatorial group testing (CGT), the objective is to identify the set of at most $d$ defective items from a pool of $n$ items using as few tests as possible. The celebrated result for the CGT problem is that the number of tests $t$ can…
Recent advances in noiseless non-adaptive group testing have led to a precise asymptotic characterization of the number of tests required for high-probability recovery in the sublinear regime $k = n^{\theta}$ (with $\theta \in (0,1)$), with…
We study the problem of estimating the number of defective items in adaptive Group testing by using a minimum number of queries. We improve the existing algorithm and prove a lower bound that show that, for constant estimation, the number…

\emph{Group Testing} (GT) addresses the problem of identifying a small subset of defective items from a large population, by grouping items into as few test pools as possible. In \emph{Adaptive GT} (AGT), outcomes of previous tests can…
In the group-testing literature, efficient algorithms have been developed to minimize the number of tests required to identify all minimal "defective" sub-groups embedded within a larger group, using deterministic group splitting with a…

This paper considers the problem of Quantitative Group Testing (QGT). Consider a set of $N$ items among which $K$ items are defective. The QGT problem is to identify (all or a sufficiently large fraction of) the defective items, where the…
In probabilistic nonadaptive group testing (PGT), we aim to characterize the number of pooled tests necessary to identify a random $k$-sparse vector of defectives with high probability. Recent work has shown that $n$ tests are necessary…
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 study the group testing problem with non-adaptive randomized algorithms. Several models have been discussed in the literature to determine how to randomly choose the tests. For a model ${\cal M}$, let $m_{\cal M}(n,d)$ be the minimum…
The group testing problem concerns discovering a small number of defective items within a large population by performing tests on pools of items. A test is positive if the pool contains at least one defective, and negative if it contains no…
