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...

Succinct Representation of Codes with Applications to Testing
Motivated by questions in property testing, we search for linear error-correcting codes that have the “single local orbit” property: i.e., they are specified by a single loca...

Algorithmic Aspects of Property Testing in the Dense Graphs Model
In this paper we consider two basic questions regarding the query complexity of testing graph properties in the adjacency matrix model. The first question refers to the relation ...

Testing Computability by Width Two OBDDs
Property testing is concerned with deciding whether an object (e.g. a graph or a function) has a certain property or is “far” (for some definition of far) from every object w...

Strong Parallel Repetition Theorem for Free Projection Games
The parallel repetition theorem states that for any two provers one round game with value at most 1 − (for < 1/2), the value of the game repeated n times in parallel is at mo...

Small-Bias Spaces for Group Products
Small-bias, or -biased, spaces have found many applications in complexity theory, coding theory, and derandomization. We generalize the notion of small-bias spaces to the setting ...

Optimal Sherali-Adams Gaps from Pairwise Independence
Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...

Improved Inapproximability Results for Maximum k-Colorable Subgraph
We study the maximization version of the fundamental graph coloring problem. Here the goal is to color the vertices of a k-colorable graph with k colors so that a maximum fraction ...

Baum's Algorithm Learns Intersections of Halfspaces with Respect to Log-Concave Distributions
In 1990, E. Baum gave an elegant polynomial-time algorithm for learning the intersection of two origin-centered halfspaces with respect to any symmetric distribution (i.e., any D s...
