In this paper, we study the problem of testing the equality of two multivariate distributions. One class of tests used for this purpose utilizes geometric graphs constructed using inter-point distances. So far, the asymptotic theory of…
We initiate the study of distribution testing for probability distributions over the edges of a graph, motivated by the closely related question of ``edge-distribution-free'' graph property testing. The main results of this paper are…
We study the parameterized complexity of a broad class of problems called "local graph partitioning problems" that includes the classical fixed cardinality problems as max k-vertex cover, k-densest subgraph, etc. By developing a technique…
We investigate quantum graphs with infinitely many vertices and edges without the common restriction on the geometry of the underlying metric graph that there is a positive lower bound on the lengths of its edges. Our central result is a…
A graph property P is strongly testable if for every fixed \epsilon>0 there is a one-sided \epsilon-tester for P whose query complexity is bounded by a function of \epsilon. In classifying the strongly testable graph properties, the first…
We study the problem of constructing a (near) uniform random proper $q$-coloring of a simple $k$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and maximum degree $\Delta$. (Proper in that no edge is mono-colored and simple in that two edges have…
The planted densest subgraph detection problem refers to the task of testing whether in a given (random) graph there is a subgraph that is unusually dense. Specifically, we observe an undirected and unweighted graph on $n$ vertices. Under…
We present several new examples of speed-ups obtainable by quantum algorithms in the context of property testing. First, motivated by sampling algorithms, we consider probability distributions given in the form of an oracle $f:[n]\to[m]$.…
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…
The area of graph property testing seeks to understand the relation between the global properties of a graph and its local statistics. In the classical model, the local statistics of a graph is defined relative to a uniform distribution…
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…
Distribution testing can be described as follows: $q$ samples are being drawn from some unknown distribution $P$ over a known domain $[n]$. After the sampling process, a decision must be made about whether $P$ holds some property, or is far…
Current quantum computing devices have different strengths and weaknesses depending on their architectures. This means that flexible approaches to circuit design are necessary. We address this task by introducing a novel space-efficient…
In this paper we consider the problem of testing whether a graph has bounded arboricity. The family of graphs with bounded arboricity includes, among others, bounded-degree graphs, all minor-closed graph classes (e.g. planar graphs, graphs…
Two-sample tests utilizing a similarity graph on observations are useful for high-dimensional and non-Euclidean data due to their flexibility and good performance under a wide range of alternatives. Existing works mainly focused on sparse…
We study which property testing and sublinear time algorithms can be transformed into graph streaming algorithms for random order streams. Our main result is that for bounded degree graphs, any property that is constant-query testable in…
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…
In the subgraph-freeness problem, we are given a constant-size graph $H$, and wish to determine whether the network contains $H$ as a subgraph or not. The \emph{property-testing} relaxation of the problem only requires us to distinguish…
This paper considers the problem of Quantitative Group Testing (QGT) where there are some defective items among a large population of $N$ items. We consider the scenario in which each item is defective with probability $K/N$, independently…
