Synopsis

Du (computer science, City U. of Hong Kong) and Hwant (applied mathematics, National Chiao Tung U., Taiwan) assemble the theories and applications of a technique for testing blood on a large scale economically. They say it was developed about 50 years ago, but went dormant when the immediate need passed, and think it might be useful again now what with the AIDS epidemic and all. They mention no date for the first edition; not only have they updated results and corrected errors here, they have also incorporated the recent extensive application of non-adaptive group testing to the clone library screening problem.

Review

"The book under review for the first time collects all theory and applications about combinatorial group testing in one place. The presentation of the material is well organized, the material is illustrated by many examples. This book may not only serve as a source and reference book, but is also attractive to students since it treats interesting 'real life' problems." C Krattenthaler Monatshefte Fur Mathematik, 1996
