Group Testing for Efficiently Sampling Hypergraphs When Tests Have Variable Costs
Laurence A. Clarfeld, Margaret J. Eppstein
In the group-testing literature, efficient algorithms have been developed to minimize the number of tests required to identify all minimal "defective" sub-groups embedded within a…

Group-Testing on Hypergraphs with Variable-Cost Tests: A Power Systems Case Study
Laurence A. Clarfeld, Margaret J. Eppstein
Assessing risk of cascading failure in an electrical grid requires identifying many small "defective" subsets of the N elements in a power system, such that the simultaneous failur…

Risk of Cascading Blackouts Given Correlated Component Outages
Laurence A. Clarfeld, Paul D. H. Hines, Eric M. Hernandez +1
Cascading blackouts typically occur when nearly simultaneous outages occur in k out of N components in a power system, triggering subsequent failures that propagate through the net…
