A Bound on the Shannon Capacity via a Linear Programming Variation
arXiv:1804.05529 · doi:10.1137/17M115565X
Abstract
We prove an upper bound on the Shannon capacity of a graph via a linear programming variation. We show that our bound can outperform both the Lovász theta number and the Haemers minimum rank bound. As a by-product, we also obtain a new upper bound on the broadcast rate of Index Coding.
