Properties of Boolean functions can often be tested much faster than the functions can be learned. However, this advantage usually disappears when testers are limited to random samples of a function $f$--a natural setting for data…

The containment of malware in computing networks may be naturally formulated as a network influence minimisation problem, in which one seeks to limit the expected spread of an infection while balancing the operational cost of disabling…

This work studies the quantum query complexity of Boolean functions in a scenario where it is only required that the query algorithm succeeds with a probability strictly greater than 1/2. We show that, just as in the communication…
