Constant-iteration and constraint conjecture for adaptive LP decoding

Let a random parity-check code have length nn, rate RR, and m=n(1R)m=n(1-R) parity checks, with an arbitrary degree distribution. Consider the adaptive LP decoding algorithm, and let b1b1 and b2b2 denote constants.

Adaptive LP decoding conjecture. As nn increases, the algorithm converges with probability arbitrarily close to 11 in at most b1b1 iterations and with at most b2b2 final parity-check constraints per check node, where b1b1 and b2b2 are independent of the code's length, rate, and degree distribution.

The conjecture formalizes the observed practical speed of adaptive LP decoding: simulations suggest substantially fewer iterations and final parity-check constraints than the general worst-case guarantee. Its validity for random parity-check codes with arbitrary degree distributions remains open.
