Local Combinatorial Analogues for Bounded VC Dimension

Authors: Olga Medrano Martín del Campo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 380, 41st Annual Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS 2026)

Abstract
Stable graphs, or equivalently Littlestone classes, were characterized by existence of linear-sized "good" sets, a kind of strongly homogeneous set, in work of Malliaris-Shelah and Malliaris-Moran. We prove a parallel result for VC classes, showing these are characterized by existence of linear-sized symmetric or asymmetric good pairs (which we define). We give several proofs, each drawing from methods and results from different areas, and resulting in different kinds of bounds. We finish with a few words on our learning theory motivation for these investigations and state some further research directions.

Higher-Order Delsarte Dual LPs: Lifting, Constructions and Completeness

Authors: Leonardo Nagami Coregliano, Fernando Granha Jeronimo, Chris Jones, Nati Linial, and Elyassaf Loyfer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
A central and longstanding open problem in coding theory is the rate-versus-distance trade-off for binary error-correcting codes. In a seminal work, Delsarte introduced a family of linear programs establishing relaxations on the size of optimum codes. To date, the state-of-the-art upper bounds for binary codes come from dual feasible solutions to these LPs. Still, these bounds are exponentially far from the best-known existential constructions. Recently, hierarchies of linear programs extending and strengthening Delsarte’s original LPs were introduced for linear codes, which we refer to as higher-order Delsarte LPs. These new hierarchies were shown to provably converge to the actual value of optimum codes, namely, they are complete hierarchies. Therefore, understanding them and their dual formulations becomes a valuable line of investigation. Nonetheless, their higher-order structure poses challenges. In fact, analysis of all known convex programming hierarchies strengthening Delsarte’s original LPs has turned out to be exceedingly difficult and essentially nothing is known, stalling progress in the area since the 1970s. Our main result is an analysis of the higher-order Delsarte LPs via their dual formulation. Although quantitatively, our current analysis only matches the best-known upper bounds, it shows, for the first time, how to tame the complexity of analyzing a hierarchy strengthening Delsarte’s original LPs. In doing so, we reach a better understanding of the structure of the hierarchy, which may serve as the foundation for further quantitative improvements. We provide two additional structural results for this hierarchy. First, we show how to explicitly lift any feasible dual solution from level k to a (suitable) larger level 𝓁 while retaining the objective value. Second, we give a novel proof of completeness using the dual formulation.

Exact Completeness of LP Hierarchies for Linear Codes

Authors: Leonardo Nagami Coregliano, Fernando Granha Jeronimo, and Chris Jones

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 251, 14th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2023)

Abstract
Determining the maximum size A₂(n,d) of a binary code of blocklength n and distance d remains an elusive open question even when restricted to the important class of linear codes. Recently, two linear programming hierarchies extending Delsarte’s LP were independently proposed to upper bound A₂^{Lin}(n,d) (the analogue of A₂(n,d) for linear codes). One of these hierarchies, by the authors, was shown to be approximately complete in the sense that the hierarchy converges to A₂^{Lin}(n,d) as the level grows beyond n². Despite some structural similarities, not even approximate completeness was known for the other hierarchy by Loyfer and Linial. In this work, we prove that both hierarchies recover the exact value of A₂^{Lin}(n,d) at level n. We also prove that at this level the polytope of Loyfer and Linial is integral. Even though these hierarchies seem less powerful than general hierarchies such as Sum-of-Squares, we show that they have enough structure to yield exact completeness via pseudoprobabilities.

A Complete Linear Programming Hierarchy for Linear Codes

Authors: Leonardo Nagami Coregliano, Fernando Granha Jeronimo, and Chris Jones

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 215, 13th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2022)

Abstract
A longstanding open problem in coding theory is to determine the best (asymptotic) rate R₂(δ) of binary codes with minimum constant (relative) distance δ. An existential lower bound was given by Gilbert and Varshamov in the 1950s. On the impossibility side, in the 1970s McEliece, Rodemich, Rumsey and Welch (MRRW) proved an upper bound by analyzing Delsarte’s linear programs. To date these results remain the best known lower and upper bounds on R₂(δ) with no improvement even for the important class of linear codes. Asymptotically, these bounds differ by an exponential factor in the blocklength. In this work, we introduce a new hierarchy of linear programs (LPs) that converges to the true size A^{Lin}₂(n,d) of an optimum linear binary code (in fact, over any finite field) of a given blocklength n and distance d. This hierarchy has several notable features: 1) It is a natural generalization of the Delsarte LPs used in the first MRRW bound. 2) It is a hierarchy of linear programs rather than semi-definite programs potentially making it more amenable to theoretical analysis. 3) It is complete in the sense that the optimum code size can be retrieved from level O(n²). 4) It provides an answer in the form of a hierarchy (in larger dimensional spaces) to the question of how to cut Delsarte’s LP polytopes to approximate the true size of linear codes. We obtain our hierarchy by generalizing the Krawtchouk polynomials and MacWilliams inequalities to a suitable "higher-order" version taking into account interactions of 𝓁 words. Our method also generalizes to translation schemes under mild assumptions.
