Abstract

Combinatorial property testing, initiated formally by (Goldreich et al., 1996) and inspired by (Rubinfeld and Sudan, 1996), deals with the following relaxation of decision problems: given a fixed property and an input x, one wants to decide whether x has the property or is being far from having the property. The main result here is that if G={g:{0,1}/sup n//spl rarr/{0,1}} is a family of Boolean functions that have read-once branching programs of width w, then for every n and /spl epsiv/
