Lovász: on the Shannon capacity of a graph

Introduced the theta-function upper bound for graph Shannon capacity and used it to determine the capacity of the five-cycle.

What is recorded here?

Introduced the theta-function upper bound for graph Shannon capacity and used it to determine the capacity of the five-cycle.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is Lovász's sole-author 1979 paper and its zero-error graph-capacity results. It does not make Shannon capacity computable for every graph or absorb later semidefinite and quantum generalizations.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
