Abstract: Witsenhausen's problem asks for the maximum fraction $alph{a}_n$ of the $n$-dimensional unit sphere that can be covered by a measurable set containing no pairs of orthogonal points. The best upper bounds for $alph{a}_n$ are given by extensions of the Lov'asz theta number. In this paper, optimization hierarchies based on the Lov'asz theta number, like the Lasserre hierarchy, are extended to Witsenhausen's problem and similar problems. These hierarchies are shown to converge and are used to compute the best upper bounds for $alph{a}_n$ in low dimensions.
