# Group testing problem with two defectives

Group testing problem with two defectives We consider the classical (2,N) group testing problem, i.e., the problem of finding two defectives among N elements. We propose a new adaptive algorithm such that for $N = \left\lfloor {2\tfrac{{t + 1}} {2} - t \cdot 2\tfrac{t} {4}} \right\rfloor$ the problem can be solved in t tests. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Problems of Information Transmission Springer Journals
