    Given a set of \(n\) items with \(d\) defectives, identify the \(d\) defectives with the minimum number of tests each of which tells whether a particular subset of items contains a defective item or not. This problem is called combinatorial group testing. When all tests are given at the same time, it is called the nonadaptive group testing. In this paper, the authors present some sufficient conditions for nonadaptive group testing to have individual testing as its optimal solution.
