Testing Forest-Isomorphism in the Adjacency List Model

Data Structures and Algorithms 2014-04-29 v1

Abstract

We consider the problem of testing if two input forests are isomorphic or are far from being so. An algorithm is called an ε\varepsilon-tester for forest-isomorphism if given an oracle access to two forests GG and HH in the adjacency list model, with high probability, accepts if GG and HH are isomorphic and rejects if we must modify at least εn\varepsilon n edges to make GG isomorphic to HH. We show an ε\varepsilon-tester for forest-isomorphism with a query complexity polylog(n)\mathrm{polylog}(n) and a lower bound of Ω(logn)\Omega(\sqrt{\log{n}}). Further, with the aid of the tester, we show that every graph property is testable in the adjacency list model with polylog(n)\mathrm{polylog}(n) queries if the input graph is a forest.
