In information theory and coding theory, linear programming decoding (LP decoding) is a decoding method which uses concepts from LP theory to solve decoding problems. This approach was first used by Jon Feldman et al.[1] They showed how the LP can be used to decodes block codes.

The basic idea behind LP decoding is to first represent the maximum likelihood decoding of a linear error-correcting code as an integer linear program, and then relax the integrality constraints on the variables into linear inequalities.
