A Limit Theorem for the Shannon Capacities of Odd Cycles. Ii
نویسنده
چکیده
It follows from a construction for independent sets in the powers of odd cycles given in the predecessor of this paper that the limit as k goes to infinity of k+ 1/2−Θ(C2k+1) is zero, where Θ(G) is the Shannon capacity of a graph G. This paper contains a shorter proof of this limit theorem that is based on an ‘expansion process’ introduced in an older paper of L. Baumert, R. McEliece, E. Rodemich, H. Rumsey, R. Stanley and H. Taylor. We also refute a conjecture from that paper, using ideas from the predecessor of this paper.

A Limit Theorem for the Shannon Capacities of Odd Cycles I
This paper contains a construction for independent sets in the powers of odd cycles. It follows from this construction that the limit as n goes to infinity of n+ 1/2−Θ(C2n+1) is zero, where Θ(G) is the Shannon capacity of the graph G.
متن کاملSome remarks on the Shannon capacity of odd cycles
We tackle the problem of estimating the Shannon capacity of cycles of odd length. We present some strategies which allow us to nd tight bounds on the Shannon capacity of cycles of various odd lengths, and suggest that the diiculty of obtaining a general result may be related to diierent behaviours of the capacity, depending on the \structure" of the odd integer representing the cycle length. We...
متن کاملA nontrivial lower bound on the Shannon capacities of the complements of odd cycles
This paper contains a construction for independent sets in the powers of the complements of odd cycles. In particular, we show that α ( C 2 2n+3 ) ≥ 22n + 1. It follows that for n ≥ 0 we have Θ(C2n+3) > 2, where Θ(G) denotes the Shannon capacity of graph G.
متن کاملNew lower bounds for the Shannon capacity of odd cycles
The Shannon capacity of a graphG is defined as c(G) = supd≥1(α(G )) 1 d , where α(G) is the independence number of G. The Shannon capacity of the cycle C5 on 5 vertices was determined by Lovász in 1979, but the Shannon capacity of a cycle Cp for general odd p remains one of the most notorious open problems in information theory. By prescribing stabilizers for the independent sets in C p and usi...
متن کاملThe Local Limit Theorem: A Historical Perspective
The local limit theorem describes how the density of a sum of random variables follows the normal curve. However the local limit theorem is often seen as a curiosity of no particular importance when compared with the central limit theorem. Nevertheless the local limit theorem came first and is in fact associated with the foundation of probability theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fer...
