Semidefinite programming, multivariate orthogonal polynomials, and codes in spherical caps

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We apply the semidefinite programming approach developed in arxiv:math.MG/0608426 to obtain new upper bounds for codes in spherical caps. We compute new upper bounds for the one-sided kissing number in several dimensions where we in particular get a new tight bound in dimension 8. Furthermore we show how to use the SDP framework to get analytic bounds.


The authors apply the semidefinite programming approach developed in their previous paper [``New upper bounds for kissing numbers from semidefinite programming, J. Am. Math. Soc. 21, 909--924 (2008)] to obtain new upper bounds for codes in spherical caps. They compute new upper bounds for the one-sided kissing number in several dimensions where, in particular, they get a new tight bound in dimension 8. Furthermore, they show how to use the semidefinite programming framework to get analytic bounds.
