We consider the following "efficiently decodable" nonadaptive group testing problem. There is an unknown string x {0, 1}n with at most d ones in it. We are allowed to t...
The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...
Background: In binary high-throughput screening projects where the goal is the identification of low-frequency events, beyond the obvious issue of efficiency, false positives and ...
