We introduce the asymptotic spectrum of graphs and apply the theory of asymptotic spectra of Strassen (J. Reine Angew. Math. 1988) to obtain a new dual characterisation of the Shannon capacity of graphs. Elements in the asymptotic spectrum…
In this paper, we give spectral upper bounds for the independence number of even uniform hypergraphs and graphs, extend the Hoffman bound to even uniform hypergraphs, and give a simple spectral condition for determining the independence…
Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices, independence number $\alpha(G)$, Lov\'asz theta function $\vartheta(G)$, and Shannon capacity $\Theta(G)$. We define $n_{\ge0}(G)$ to be the minimum number of non-negative eigenvalues taken over all…
We study quantum versions of the Shannon capacity of graphs and non-commutative graphs. We introduce the asymptotic spectrum of graphs with respect to quantum and entanglement-assisted homomorphisms, and we introduce the asymptotic spectrum…
We study the use of quantum entanglement in the zero-error source-channel coding problem. Here, Alice and Bob are connected by a noisy classical one-way channel, and are given correlated inputs from a random source. Their goal is for Bob to…
An interference alignment perspective is used to identify the simplest instances (minimum possible number of edges in the alignment graph, no more than 2 interfering messages at any destination) of index coding problems where non-Shannon…
The $k$-th $p$-power of a graph $G$ is the graph on the vertex set $V(G)^k$, where two $k$-tuples are adjacent iff the number of their coordinates which are adjacent in $G$ is not congruent to 0 modulo $p$. The clique number of powers of…
The concept of the \textit{relative fractional packing number} between two graphs $G$ and $H$, initially introduced in arXiv:2307.06155 [math.CO], serves as an upper bound for the ratio of the zero-error Shannon capacity of these graphs.…
We extend upper bounds on the quantum independence number and the quantum Shannon capacity of graphs to their counterparts in the commuting operator model. We introduce a von Neumann algebraic generalization of the fractional Haemers bound…
The Erdos-Hajnal conjecture says that for every graph $H$ there exists $c>0$ such that $\max(\alpha(G),\omega(G))\ge n^c$ for every $H$-free graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, and this is still open when $H=C_5$. Until now the best bound known on…
We describe a construction that maps any connected graph G on three or more vertices into a larger graph, H(G), whose independence number is strictly smaller than its Lov\'asz number which is equal to its fractional packing number. The…
Shannon defined channel capacity as the highest rate at which there exists a sequence of codes of block length $n$ such that the error probability goes to zero as $n$ goes to infinity. In this definition, it is implicit that the block…
The Shannon upper bound places a limit on the error-free information transmission rate (capacity) of a noisy channel. It has stood for over sixty years, and underlies both theoretical and practical work in the telecommunications industry.…
Motivated by communication through a network employing linear network coding, capacities of linear operator channels (LOCs) with arbitrarily distributed transfer matrices over finite fields are studied. Both the Shannon capacity $C$ and the…
Shannon's Capacity Theorem is the main concept behind the Theory of Communication. It says that if the amount of information contained in a signal is smaller than the channel capacity of a physical media of communication, it can be…
Matthew Kwan and Yuval Wigderson showed that for an infinite family of graphs, the Lov\'asz number gives an upper bound of $O(n^{3/4})$ for the size of an independent set (where $n$ is the number of vertices), while the weighted inertia…
We generalise some well-known graph parameters to operator systems by considering their underlying quantum channels. In particular, we introduce the quantum complexity as the dimension of the smallest co-domain Hilbert space a quantum…
We consider the maximum independent set problem on graphs with maximum degree~$d$. We show that the integrality gap of the Lov\'asz $\vartheta$-function based SDP is $\widetilde{O}(d/\log^{3/2} d)$. This improves on the previous best result…
Recently, a secrecy measure based on list-reconstruction has been proposed [2], in which a wiretapper is allowed to produce a list of $2^{mR_{L}}$ reconstruction sequences and the secrecy is measured by the minimum distortion over the…
The linear complementarity problem is a continuous optimization problem that generalizes convex quadratic programming, Nash equilibria of bimatrix games and several such problems. This paper presents a continuous optimization formulation…
