As solving integer linear programs is generally NP-hard, this decoding problem
has to be approximated by one with looser constraints.
A technique called \textit{relaxation} is applied:
modifying the constraints in order to broaden the considered
domain (e.g. by lifting the integer requirement).
relaxing the constraints, thereby broadening the considered domain

First, the authors present an equivalent \ac{LP} formulation of exact \ac{ML}
decoding, redefining the constraints in terms of the \text{codeword polytope}
