Master’s Thesis Presentation • Algorithms and Complexity — Monotonicity Testing for Boolean Functions over Graph Products

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will be given online.

Supervisor: Professor Eric Blais

We establish a directed analogue of Chung and Tetali’s isoperimetric inequality for graph products. We use this inequality to obtain new bounds on the query complexity for testing monotonicity of Boolean-valued functions over products of general posets.
