LetGbe a graph withnvertices and maximum degreed. Fix some minor-closed propertyP(such as planarity). We say thatGis ε-far fromPif one has to remove εdnedges to make it haveP. The problem of property testingPwas introduced in the seminal work of Benjamini-Schramm-Shapira (STOC 2008) that gave a tester with query complexity triply exponential in ε−1. Levi-Ron (TALG 2015) have given the best tester to date, with a quasipolynomial (in ε−1) query complexity. It is an open problem to get property testers whose query complexity is (dε−1), even for planarity.In this paper, we resolve this open question. For any minor-closed property, we give a tester with query complexityd· (ε−1). The previous line of work on (independent ofn, two-sided) testers is primarily combinatorial. Our work, on the other hand, employs techniques from spectral graph theory. This paper is a continuation of recent work of the authors (FOCS 2018) analyzing random walk algorithms that find forbidden minors.
