Improved Algorithms and Bounds for List Union-Free Families

Published: 18 September 2023 Publication History

Abstract

List union-free families are basic combinatorial structures that appear in different application scenarios, most notably in one-bit compressed sensing. In this paper, we study algorithms for the construction of list union-free families and we provide bounds on the parameters of these families that substantially affect the complexity of the algorithms that utilize them.
