Analysis of Polynomial Threshold Functions on Random Regular Graphs: Computational Complexity of Detecting Noisy Random Lifts
Abstract
In this work, we present the first analysis of low-degree polynomial threshold functions for the natural hypothesis testing problem of detecting the noisy random lift of a base d-regular graph from a uniformly random d-regular graph. Along the way, we obtain a new result for the distribution of short cycle counts in noisy random lift up to logarithmic lengths, which generalizes results by McKay, Wormald, and Wysocka and by Johnson in the case of random regular graphs, and results by Greenhill, Janson, and Ruciński and by Fortin and Rudinsky in the case of random lifts.
