We study quantum property testing for directed graphs with maximum in-degree and out-degree bounded by some universal constant $d$. For a proximity parameter $\varepsilon$, we show that any property that can be tested with…

We study property testing in directed graphs in the bounded degree model, where we assume that an algorithm may only query the outgoing edges of a vertex, a model proposed by Bender and Ron in 2002. As our first main result, we we present a…

We initiate the study of quantum property testing in sparse directed graphs, and more particularly in the unidirectional model, where the algorithm is allowed to query only the outgoing edges of a vertex. In the classical unidirectional…

We study property testing of (di)graph properties in bounded-degree graph models. The study of graph properties in bounded-degree models is one of the focal directions of research in property testing in the last 15 years. However, despite…

We study property testing of directed acyclicity in the unidirectional bounded-degree oracle model, where a query to a vertex reveals its outgoing neighbors. We prove that there exist absolute constants $d_0\in\mathbb{N}$ and…

We extend the bounded degree graph model for property testing introduced by Goldreich and Ron (Algorithmica, 2002) to hypergraphs. In this framework, we analyse the query complexity of three fundamental hypergraph properties: colorability,…

Property Testing is a formal framework to study the computational power and complexity of sampling from combinatorial objects. A central goal in standard graph property testing is to understand which graph properties are testable with…

One of the most fundamental questions in graph property testing is to characterize the combinatorial structure of properties that are testable with a constant number of queries. We work towards an answer to this question for the…

In a recent work (ECCC, TR18-171, 2018), we introduced models of testing graph properties in which, in addition to answers to the usual graph-queries, the tester obtains {\em random vertices drawn according to an arbitrary distribution…

In many statistical applications, the dimension is too large to handle for standard high-dimensional machine learning procedures. This is particularly true for graphical models, where the interpretation of a large graph is difficult and…

In this paper we present distributed testing algorithms of graph properties in the CONGEST-model [Censor-Hillel et al. 2016]. We present one-sided error testing algorithms in the general graph model. We first describe a general procedure…

We consider graph property testing in $p$-degenerate graphs under the random neighbor oracle model (Czumaj and Sohler, FOCS 2019). In this framework, a tester explores a graph by sampling uniform neighbors of vertices, and a property is…

The bounded-degree query model, introduced by Goldreich and Ron (\textit{Algorithmica, 2002}), is a standard framework in graph property testing and sublinear-time algorithms. Many properties studied in this model, such as bipartiteness and…

Let $G$ be an undirected, bounded degree graph with $n$ vertices. Fix a finite graph $H$, and suppose one must remove $\varepsilon n$ edges from $G$ to make it $H$-minor free (for some small constant $\varepsilon > 0$). We give an…

In property testing, a tester makes queries to (an oracle for) a graph and, on a graph having or being far from having a property P, it decides with high probability whether the graph satisfies P or not. Often, testers are restricted to a…
