Radio Number Of Hamming Graphs Of Diameter 3, Jason Devito, Amanda Niedzialomski, Jennifer Warren

Theory & Applications of Graphs

For G a simple, connected graph, a vertex labeling f:V(G) → Z+ is called a radio labeling of G if it satisfies |f(u)-f(v)|≥ diam(G)+1-d(u,v) for all distinct vertices u,v ∈ V(G). The radio number of G is the minimal span over all radio labelings of G. If a bijective radio labeling onto {1,2,…|V(G)|} exists, G is called a radio graceful graph. We determine the radio number of all diameter 3 Hamming graphs and show that an infinite subset of them is radio graceful.

Capturing The Pool Dilution Effect In Group Testing Regression: A Bayesian Approach, Stella Self Ph.D., Ms, Christopher Mcmahan, Stefani Mokalled

Faculty Publications

Group (pooled) testing is becoming a popular strategy for screening large populations for infectious diseases. This popularity is owed to the cost savings that can be realized through implementing group testing methods. These methods involve physically combining biomaterial (eg, saliva, blood, urine) collected on individuals into pooled specimens which are tested for an infection of interest. Through testing these pooled specimens, group testing methods reduce the cost of diagnosing all individuals under study by reducing the number of tests performed. Even though group testing offers substantial cost reductions, some practitioners are hesitant to adopt group testing methods due to the …
