Abstract Details

2014, BS, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Mathematical Sciences.
We begin by giving an example of the problem - Two out of ten potatoes are radioactive. A Geiger counter can determine if there are any radioactive potatoes in a given pile, but cannot read how many. In six readings, identify the two radioactive potatoes. We will explore this and further generalizations of this group testing problem.
