LLM aids discovery of new lower bounds for Shannon capacity of odd cycles

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed new methods to establish improved lower bounds for the Shannon capacity of odd cycles, specifically C7, C11, and C13. These advancements were achieved by constructing specific independent sets within the strong powers of these graphs. Notably, the discovery process involved iterative interactions with a Large Language Model (LLM), highlighting the growing utility of LLMs in generating complex combinatorial constructions. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates LLMs' capability in aiding complex combinatorial mathematics research.

    Improved lower bounds for the Shannon capacity of odd cycles

    arXiv:2607.21517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Shannon capacity $\Theta(G)$ of a graph $G$ quantifies the maximum rate at which information can be transmitted with zero error over a noisy channel. It is lower bounded by $\alpha(G^d)^{1/d}$ for any $d$, where $\alpha(G^d)$ …
