Group testing can save testing resources in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In group testing, we are given n samples, one per individual, and arrange them into m< n …

Group testing is a technique that can reduce the number of tests needed to identify infected
members in a population, by pooling together multiple diagnostic samples. Despite the …

The group testing idea is an efficient infection identification approach based on pooling the
test samples of a group of individuals, which results in identification with less number of tests …

The first part of the paper presents a review of the gold-standard testing protocol for Covid-

Group testing is one of the fundamental problems in coding theory and combinatorics in
which one is to identify a subset of contaminated items from a given ground set. There has …

SIR (Susceptible, Infected or Recovered) stochastic network models are commonly used to
describe the progression of epidemics inside a network. A task of interest in epidemiology is …

Proactive testing and interventions are crucial for disease containment during a pandemic
until widespread vaccination is achieved. However, a key challenge remains: Can we …

We consider the group testing problem over probabilistic community-oriented infection
models, which have attracted significant attention in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. To …

Group testing can help maintain a widespread testing program using fewer resources amid
a pandemic. In a group testing setup, we are given samples, one per individual. Each …

In order to identify the infected individuals of a population, their samples are divided in
equally sized groups called pools and a single laboratory test is applied to each pool …
