| 2020 | The Power of Many Samples in Query ComplexityabstractThe randomized query complexity 𝖱(f) of a boolean function f: {0,1}ⁿ → {0,1} is famously characterized (via Yao’s minimax) by the least number of queries needed to distinguish a distribution 𝒟₀ over 0-inputs from a distribution 𝒟₁ over 1-inputs, maximized over all pairs (𝒟₀,𝒟₁). We ask: Does this task become easier if we allow query access to infinitely many samples from either 𝒟₀ or 𝒟₁? We show the answer is no: There exists a hard pair (𝒟₀,𝒟₁) such that distinguishing 𝒟₀^∞ from 𝒟₁^∞ requires Θ(𝖱(f)) many queries. As an application, we show that for any composed function f∘g we have 𝖱(f∘g) ≥ Ω(fbs(f)𝖱(g)) where fbs denotes fractional block sensitivity.
