Abstract
We consider the problem of the relative complexity of the connectivity and reachability ( s-t -connectivity) problems, in a model resembling the one used for graph properties. In our model an oracle answers queries about edge-induced subgraphs, and we count the number of queries made. The main result is that in order to determine whether t is reachable from s one has to ask Ω(n 2 ) questions about the connectivity of edge-induced subgraphs. For non-adaptive strategies we show that n 2 questions are necessary for n ≥6. Several other results are included.
