Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and maximum degree $d$. Fix some minor-closed property $\mathcal{P}$ (such as planarity). We say that $G$ is $\varepsilon$-far from $\mathcal{P}$ if one has to remove $\varepsilon dn$ edges to make it…

The Huge Object model of property testing [Goldreich and Ron, TheoretiCS 23] concerns properties of distributions supported on $\{0,1\}^n$, where $n$ is so large that even reading a single sampled string is unrealistic. Instead, query…

We propose to extend property-based testing to substructural logics to overcome the current lack of reasoning tools in the field. We take the first step by implementing a property-based testing system for specifications written in the…

Property testers form an important class of sublinear algorithms. In the standard property testing model, an algorithm accesses the input function via an oracle that returns function values at all queried domain points. In many realistic…

Given query access to a set of constraints $S$, we wish to quickly check if some objective function $\varphi$ subject to these constraints is at most a given value $k$. We approach this problem using the framework of property testing where…

Linearity testing has been a focal problem in property testing of functions. We combine different known techniques and observations about linearity testing in order to resolve two recent versions of this task. First, we focus on the online…

The online manipulation-resilient testing model, proposed by Kalemaj, Raskhodnikova and Varma (ITCS 2022 and Theory of Computing 2023), studies property testing in situations where access to the input degrades continuously and…

The goal in function property testing is to determine whether a black-box Boolean function has a certain property or is epsilon-far from having that property. The performance of the algorithm is judged by how many calls need to be made to…

We give a distributed algorithm in the {\sf CONGEST} model for property testing of planarity with one-sided error in general (unbounded-degree) graphs. Following Censor-Hillel et al. (DISC 2016), who recently initiated the study of property…

In the property testing model, the task is to distinguish objects possessing some property from the objects that are far from it. One of such properties is monotonicity, when the objects are functions from one poset to another. This is an…

Recent works of Alon-Shapira and R\"odl-Schacht have demonstrated that every hereditary property of undirected graphs or hypergraphs is testable with one-sided error; informally, this means that if a graph or hypergraph satisfies that…

Property testing algorithms are highly efficient algorithms, that come with probabilistic accuracy guarantees. For a property P, the goal is to distinguish inputs that have P from those that are far from having P with high probability…

Consider property testing on bounded degree graphs and let $\varepsilon>0$ denote the proximity parameter. A remarkable theorem of Newman-Sohler (SICOMP 2013) asserts that all properties of planar graphs (more generally hyperfinite) are…

We examine the extent to which sublinear-sample property testing and estimation apply to settings where samples are independently but not identically distributed. Specifically, we consider the following distributional property testing…

This paper considers the problem of testing whether there exists a solution satisfying certain non-negativity constraints to a linear system of equations. Importantly and in contrast to some prior work, we allow all parameters in the system…

Understanding the local behaviour of structured multi-dimensional data is a fundamental problem in various areas of computer science. As the amount of data is often huge, it is desirable to obtain sublinear time algorithms, and specifically…
