Abstract

We construct a property on 0/1-strings that has a representation by a collection of width 3, read-twice oblivious branching programs, but for which any 2-sided \varepsilon testing algorithm must make at least \Omega (n^{{1 \over {10}}}) many queries for some fixed small enough \varepsilon This shows that Newman's result [15] cannot be generalized to read-k times functions for k 1
