Homomorphisms in Graph Property Testing - A Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Property-testers are fast randomized algorithms for distinguishing between graphs (and other combinatorial structures) satisfying a certain property, from those that are far from satisfying it. In many cases one can design property-testers whose running time is in fact independent of the size of the input. In this paper we survey some recent results on testing graph properties. A common thread in all the results surveyed is that they rely heavily on the simple yet useful notion of graph homomorphism. We mainly focus on the combinatorial aspects of property-testing.

Structural Properties of Sparse Graphs
Dense graphs have been extensively studied in the context of Extremal Graph Theory. The outstanding Szemerédi Regularity Lemma [111] states that any dense network has properties which are close to the ones of a random graph. In particular, a large dense network cannot be too irregular. This structural result is one of the cornerstones of contemporary combinatorics (and one would like to say mat...
متن کاملFrom the Ising and Potts models to the general graph homomorphism polynomial
A graph homomorphism from a graph G to a graph H is a mapping h : V (G)→ V (H) such that h(u) ∼ h(v) if u ∼ v. Graph homomorphisms are well studied objects and, for suitable choices of eitherG orH, many classical graph properties can be formulated in terms of homomorphisms. For example the question of wether there exists a homomorphism from G to H = Kq is the same as asking wether G is q-colour...
متن کاملGraph homomorphisms: structure and symmetry
This paper is the first part of an introduction to the subject of graph homomorphism in the mixed form of a course and a survey. We give the basic definitions, examples and uses of graph homomorphisms and mention some results that consider the structure and some parameters of the graphs involved. We discuss vertex transitive graphs and Cayley graphs and their rather fundamental role in some asp...
متن کاملDistinguishing homomorphisms of infinite graphs
We supply an upper bound on the distinguishing chromatic number of certain infinite graphs satisfying an adjacency property. Distinguishing proper n-colourings are generalized to the new notion of distinguishing homomorphisms. We prove that if a graph G satisfies the connected existentially closed property and admits a homomorphism to H, then it admits continuum-many distinguishing homomorphism...
متن کاملWorkshop on Covering Arrays: Constructions, Applications and Generalizations Plenary Talks
Rick Brewster, Thompson Rivers University Graph Homomorphisms, an introduction This talk is an introduction to the subject of graph homomorphisms. The concept of homomorphisms appears in many areas of mathematics, and the field of graph theory is no exception. However, until recently most graph theorists did not view graph homomorphisms as a central topic in the discipline. In their recent book...
