Abstract

We propose a general model for testing graph properties, which extends and simplifies the bounded degree model of [GR97]. In this model we present a family of algorithms that test whether the diameter of a graph is bounded by a given parameter D, or is ϵ -far from any graph with diameter at most β(D). The function β(D) ranges between D + 4 and 4D +2, depending on the algorithm. All our algorithms run in time polynomial in 1/ϵ.
