Abstract

The linear-programming decoding performance of a binary linear code crucially depends on the structure of the fundamental cone of the parity-check matrix that describes the code. Towards a better understanding of fundamental cones and the vectors therein, we introduce the notion of absdet-pseudocodewords and perm-pseudo-codewords: we give the definitions, we discuss some simple examples, and we list some of their properties.
