二元覆盖数组的结构和下界

Structures and lower bounds for binary covering arrays

Soohak Choi, Hyun Kwang Kim, Dong Yeol Oh

摘要:

$q$元$t$覆盖数组是具有来自$\{0, 1, ..., q-1\}$的条目的$m \times n$矩阵,其属性是对于任何$t$列位置,长度为$t$的所有$q^t$可能向量至少出现一次.人们希望对于给定的$t$和$n$使$m$最小化,或者对于给定的$t$和$m$使$n$最大化。对于$t = 2$和$q = 2$,Rényi、Katona、Kleitman和Spencer完全解决了这个问题。证明了极大二元2-覆盖阵列是唯一确定的。Roux发现了一般$t, n$和$q$的$m$的下界。本文证明了$m \times n$二元2-覆盖阵列在$m$和$n$的某些约束下来自于极大覆盖阵列。我们还改进了$t = 3$和$q = 2$的Roux下界,并证明了某些二元3或4-覆盖阵列是唯一确定的.

英文摘要:

A $q$-ary $t$-covering array is an $m \times n$ matrix with entries from $\{0, 1, ..., q-1\}$ with the property that for any $t$ column positions, all $q^t$ possible vectors of length $t$ occur at least once. One wishes to minimize $m$ for given $t$ and $n$, or maximize $n$ for given $t$ and $m$. For $t = 2$ and $q = 2$, it is completely solved by Rényi, Katona, and Kleitman and Spencer. They also show that maximal binary 2-covering arrays are uniquely determined. Roux found the lower bound of $m$ for a general $t, n$, and $q$. In this article, we show that $m \times n$ binary 2-covering arrays under some constraints on $m$ and $n$ come from the maximal covering arrays. We also improve the lower bound of Roux for $t = 3$ and $q = 2$, and show that some binary 3 or 4-covering arrays are uniquely determined.
