Abstract
We provide an O˜(n^2) time randomized algorithm to check whether a given operation f:S×S→S is associative (letting n=|S|). They prove this performance is optimal (up to polylogarithmic factors) even in case the operation is “cancellative”. No sub-n^3 algorithm was previously known for this task. More generally they give an O(n^c ) time randomized algorithm to check whether a collection of c-ary operations satisfy any given “read-once” identity.
