We describe an efficient randomized algorithm to test if a given binary function f : {0, 1} → {0, 1} is a low-degree polynomial (that is, a sum of low-degree monomials). For a given integer k ≥ 1 and a given real > 0, the algorithm queries f at O( 1 + k4 ) points. If f is a polynomial of degree at most k, the algorithm always accepts, and if the value of f has to be modified on at least an frac...
