In this letter, a new method is presented to suppress fractional pseudocodewords by eliminating small instantons of irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes under the linear programming (LP) decoding over the binary symmetric channel (BSC). By appending several new rows found by the integer linear programming formulation to the original parity-check matrix, the optimal distribution spectrum of BSC-instantons in the modified code is obtained. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the fractional distance of parity-check matrices and considerably enhance the error-correcting performance of irregular LDPC codes under the LP decoding at the cost of a slightly loss of the original code rate.

In this letter, we present a new scheme to find small fundamental instantons (SFIs) of regular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for the linear programming (LP) decoding over the binary symmetric channel (BSC). Based on the fact that each instanton-induced graph (IIG) contains at least one short cycle, we determine potential instantons by constructing possible IIGs which contain short cycles and additional paths connected to the cycles. Then we identify actual instantons from potential ones under the LP decoding. Simulation results on some typical LDPC codes show that our scheme is effective, and more instantons can be obtained by the proposed scheme when compared with the existing instanton search method.

We extend the concept "optical instanton" to arbitrary dielectric media. For these general cases the exact analytical approach is no longer available. We derive an approximate analytical solution that would be valid in the vicinity of the light cone. A comparison is made between the analytical and the numerical solutions.
