We study two problems related to recovering causal graphs from interventional data: (i) verification, where the task is to check if a purported causal graph is correct, and (ii) search, where the task is to recover the correct causal graph. For both, we wish to minimize the number of interventions performed. For the first problem, we give a characterization of a minimal sized set of atomic interventions that is necessary and sufficient to check the correctness of a claimed causal graph. Our char…
