A tolerant $L_1$ property tester has to distinguish functions $f$ that are $\epsilon_1$-close to a property $P$ ($\inf_{g \in P} \operatorname{dist}_1(f,g) \le \epsilon_1$) from those that are $\epsilon_2$-far ($\inf_{g \in P} \operatorname{dist}_1(f,g) \ge \epsilon_2$). | A tolerant $L_1$ property tester has to distinguish functions $f$ that are $\epsilon_1$-close to a property $P$ ($\inf_{g \in P} \operatorname{dist}_1(f,g) \le \epsilon_1$) from those that are $\epsilon_2$-far ($\inf_{g \in P} \operatorname{dist}_1(f,g) \ge \epsilon_2$). | ||
