The densest binary sphere packings in the alpha-x plane of small to large sphere radius ratio alpha and small sphere relative concentration x have historically been very difficult to determine. Previous research had led to the prediction…

We show that in any $d$-dimensional real normed space, unit balls can be packed with density at least \[\frac{(1-o(1))d\log d}{2^{d+1}},\] improving a result of Schmidt from 1958 by a logarithmic factor and generalizing the recent result of…

The most powerful technique known at present for bounding the size of quantum codes of prescribed minimum distance is the quantum linear programming bound. Unlike the classical linear programming bound, it is not immediately obvious that if…

In this work, we derive upper bounds on the cardinality of tandem duplication and palindromic deletion correcting codes by deriving the generalized sphere packing bound for these error types. We first prove that an upper bound for tandem…

Universal bounds for the potential energy of weighted spherical codes are obtained by linear programming. The universality is in the sense of Cohn-Kumar -- every attaining code is optimal with respect to a large class of potential functions…

In this paper, we study the problem of hyperball (hypersphere) packings in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space ($n \ge 4$). We prove that to each $n$-dimensional congruent saturated hyperball packing, there is an algorithm to obtain a…
