On the Effect of the Proximity Parameter on Property Testers
نویسنده
چکیده
This note refers to the effect of the proximity parameter on the operation of (standard) property testers. Its bottom-line is that, except in pathological cases, the effect of the proximity parameter is restricted to determining the query complexity of the tester. The point is that, in non-pathological cases, the mapping of the proximity parameter to the query complexity can be reversed in an adequate manner.

Two-sided error proximity oblivious testing
Loosely speaking, a proximity-oblivious (property) tester is a randomized algorithm that makes a constant number of queries to a tested object and distinguishes objects that have a predetermined property from those that lack it. Specifically, for some threshold probability c, objects having the property are accepted with probability at least c, whereas objects that are ǫ-far from having the pro...
متن کاملProofs of Proximity for Distribution Testing
Distribution testing is an area of property testing that studies algorithms that receive few samples from a probability distribution D and decide whether D has a certain property or is far (in total variation distance) from all distributions with that property. Most natural properties of distributions, however, require a large number of samples to test, which motivates the question of whether t...
متن کاملSome results on convergence and existence of best proximity points
In this paper, we introduce generalized cyclic φ-contraction maps in metric spaces and give some results of best proximity points of such mappings in the setting of a uniformly convex Banach space. Moreover, we obtain convergence and existence results of proximity points of the mappings on reflexive Banach spaces
متن کاملOn the lowest level of query complexity in testing graph properties
In this thesis, we continue the work of Goldreich and Ron in (ECCC 2008) by presenting an in nite family of natural properties of dense graphs having non-adaptive testers of query complexity of Õ(1/2) , where 2 is the proximity parameter. Speci cally, for every xed graph H , we show a non-adaptive tester of query complexity Õ(2−1) for the property of being a blow-up H . This considerably extend...
متن کاملNotes for the first lecture in a course on Property Testing
This is the first lecture in an introductory course on property testing. In this lecture, we introduce and illustrate the basic notions of property testing, emphasizing the themes of approximate decision and sub-linear complexity. In particular, we discuss the key role of representation, point out the focus on properties that are not fully symmetric, present the definitions of (standard) tester...
