Bounds for Codes by Semidefinite Programming
Abstract
Delsarte's method and its extensions allow to consider the upper bound problem for codes in 2-point-homogeneous spaces as a linear programming problem with perhaps infinitely many variables, which are the distance distribution. We show that using as variables power sums of distances this problem can be considered as a finite semidefinite programming problem. This method allows to improve some linear programming upper bounds. In particular we obtain new bounds of one-sided kissing numbers.
