  • Abstract
    In this paper, given a balance scale and the information that there are exactly three uniform defective coins present, the authors consider the problem of ascertaining the minimum number of testing which suffice to identify out the three uniform defective coins in a set of n coins. An optimal testing algorithm for n is constructed, this algorithm respectively improves on both two optimal testing algorithms for infinitely many n´s constructed by Tosic and Bosnjak
