UPB
Generates an unextendible product basis

Other toolboxes required none

UPB is a function that generates an unextendible product basis (UPB). The user may either request a specific UPB from the literature such as 'Tiles' or 'Pyramid'[1], or they may request a UPB of specified dimensions.

Syntax

  • U = UPB(NAME)
  • [U,V,W,...] = UPB(NAME)
  • U = UPB(DIM)
  • [U,V,W,...] = UPB(DIM)

Argument descriptions

Input arguments

  • NAME: The name of a UPB that is found in the literature. Accepted values are:
    • 'Min4x4': A UPB in $\mathbb{C}^4 \otimes \mathbb{C}^4$ constructed in [2].
    • 'Pyramid': A UPB in $\mathbb{C}^3 \otimes \mathbb{C}^3$ constructed in [1].
    • 'Tiles': A UPB in $\mathbb{C}^3 \otimes \mathbb{C}^3$ constructed in [1].
    • 'Shifts': A UPB in $\mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2$ constructed in [3] (though a slightly different version appeared in [1]).

Examples

To be added.
