  • 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 ε-testing algorithm must make at least Ω(n1/10) many queries for some fixed small enough ε. This shows that Newman´s result (2000) cannot be generalized to read-k-times functions for k > 1
