Abstract

We present an adaptive tester for the unateness property of Boolean functions. Given a function f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} the tester makes O(n log(n)/ϵ) adaptive queries to the function. The tester always accepts a unate function, and rejects with probability at least 0.9 if a function is ϵ-far from being unate.
