A checking test for a monotone read-once function f depending essentially on all its n variables is a set of vectors M distinguishing f from all other monotone read-once functions of the same variables. We describe an inductive procedure for obtaining individual lower and upper bounds on the minimal number of vectors T(f) in a checking test for any function f. The task of deriving the exact value of T(f) is reduced to a combinatorial optimization problem related to graph connectivity. We show that for almost all functions f expressible by read-once conjunctive or disjunctive normal forms, T(f) ∼n / ln n. For several classes of functions our results give the exact value of T(f). © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
