Untestable Properties in the Kahr-Moore-Wang Class
نویسندگان
چکیده
Property testing is a kind of randomized approximation in which one takes a small, random sample of a structure and wishes to determine whether the structure satisfies some property or is far from satisfying the property. We focus on the testability of classes of first-order expressible properties, and in particular, on the classification of prefixvocabulary classes for testability. The main result is the untestability of [∀∃∀, (0, 1)]=. This is a well-known class and minimal for untestability. We discuss what is currently known about the classification for testability and briefly compare it to other classifications.

A Minimal Reduction Class for the Entscheidungsproblem
fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Let A be the class of formulas of the predicate calculus (without equality or function symbols) of the form AxEuAyMxuy such that exactly one of the predicates appearing in the quantifier-free matrix Mxuy is dyadic and all of the other predicates (if any) appearing there are monadic. It is shown that A is a reduction class fo...
متن کاملLinear v{C}ech closure spaces
In this paper, we introduce the concept of linear v{C}ech closure spaces and establish the properties of open sets in linear v{C}ech closure spaces (Lv{C}CS). Here, we observe that the concept of linearity is preserved by semi-open sets, g-semi open sets, $gamma$-open sets, sgc-dense sets and compact sets in Lv{C}CS. We also discuss the concept of relative v{C}ech closure operator, meet and pro...
متن کاملON THE CAPACITY OF EILENBERG-MACLANE AND MOORE SPACES
K. Borsuk in 1979, at the Topological Conference in Moscow, introduced concept of the capacity of a compactum and asked some questions concerning properties of the capacity ofcompacta. In this paper, we give partial positive answers to three of these questions in some cases. In fact, by describing spaces homotopy dominated by Moore and Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, the capacities of a Moore space $...
متن کاملTestable and untestable classes of first-order formulae
In property testing, the goal is to distinguish structures that have some desired property from those that are far from having the property, based on only a small, random sample of the structure. We focus on the classification of first-order sentences according to their testability. This classification was initiated by Alon et al. [2], who showed that graph properties expressible with prefix ∃∗...
متن کاملTestable and Untestable Classes of First-Order Logic
Property testing is essentially a kind of constant-time randomized approximation. Alon et al. [3] were the first to consider the idea of testing properties expressible in syntactic subclasses of first-order logic. They proved the testability of all properties of undirected, loop-free graphs expressible with quantifier prefix ∃∗∀∗, and also that there exist untestable properties of undirected, l...
