Property Testing of Massively Parametrized Problems - A Survey
We survey here property testing results for the so called 'massively parametrized' model (or problems). This paper is based on a survey talk gave at the workshop on prop...

Is submodularity testable?
: We initiate the study of property testing of submodularity on the boolean hypercube. Submodular functions come up in a variety of applications in combinatorial optimization. For ...

Testing Membership in Formal Languages Implicitly Represented by Boolean Functions
Abstract: Combinatorial property testing, initiated formally by Goldreich, Goldwasser, and Ron in [Goldreich et al. (1998)] and inspired by Rubinfeld and Sudan in [Rubinfeld and Su...

Testing linear-invariant non-linear properties: A short report
The rich collection of successes in property testing raises a natural question: Why are so many different properties turning out to be locally testable? Are there some broad "...

Testing Hypergraph Coloring
In this paper we initiate the study of testing properties of hypergraphs. The goal of property testing is to distinguish between the case whether a given object has a certain prope...

A Note on the Testability of Ramsey's Class
Abstract. In property testing, the goal is to distinguish between objects that satisfy some desirable property and objects that are far from satisfying it, after examining only a s...

Estimating the Distance to a Monotone Function
In standard property testing, the task is to distinguish between objects that have a property P and those that are ε-far from P, for some ε > 0. In this setting, it is perfec...

Information Theory in Property Testing and Monotonicity Testing in Higher Dimension
In property testing, we are given oracle access to a function f, and we wish to test if the function satisfies a given property P, or it is ε-far from having that property. In a...

Property Testing: A Learning Theory Perspective
Property testing deals with tasks where the goal is to distinguish between the case that an object (e.g., function or graph) has a prespecified property (e.g., the function is li...

Hierarchy Theorems for Property Testing
Referring to the query complexity of property testing, we prove the existence of a rich hierarchy of corresponding complexity classes. That is, for any relevant function q, we prov...
