Abstract

A subgraph induced by k vertices is called a k-induced subgraph. We prove that determining if a digraph G contains H-free k-induced subgraphs is @W(N^2)-evasive. Then we construct an @e-tester to test this property. (An @e-tester for a property @P is guaranteed to distinguish, with probability at least 2/3, between the case of G satisfying @P and the case of G being @e-far from satisfying @P.) The query complexity of the @e-tester is independent of the size of the input digraph. An (@e,@d)-tester for a property @P is an @e-tester for @P that is furthermore guaranteed to accept with probability at least 2/3 any input that is @d-close to satisfying @P. This paper presents an (@e,@d)-tester for whether a digraph contains H-free k-induced subgraphs.
